How many are daily active users? I can’t find that info.

> likely because the site was just one big echo chamber of far left American politics around that time. The US does not have a "far left" in any significant numbers, and never has. At least not in a self-aware sense. Maybe you meant to say liberal, to which I'd agree. That's not to say there isn't a "left" or "far left" on Bluesky, but there's no way it's a majority. I agree echo chambers are a problem there, which i…
> The US does not have a "far left" in any significant numbers, and never has. Bluesky does, however. Clearly they've made that their target market, but that's also why growing beyond that base seems to be difficult for them,
Again, that's not to say lefists don't exist, but they are a tiny fraction, and always were a tiny fraction no matter what platform.
Don't rule out bots that exist in numbers to make the actual left appear like a deranged spectacle as a form of controlled opposition. Both parties of capital interests have a role in and benefit from these.
Here are some independent stats: https://bluefacts.app/bluesky-user-growth
Are they lagging (and thus their latest data points to zero) or are we led to believe that all stats are down since the beginning of this week...?
It's truly sad to see social networks being complicit in doxxing their users under the guise of "think of the children" by requiring age checks.
If it makes you feel any better, it's more trivially bypassed than any website age-gate I've ever seen. (that's more complicated than a checkbox)

I think we're just, once again, speed-running the "which opinions, mfer" goose meme.
I wanted to play devil's advocate here, but unfortunately did find an example of a "politically disapproved position" in frumple's post history: "The deportations will continue regardless of the tantrums of the hysterical and mentally ill." Which ironically is similar to some "1939 Germany" views.

1939 Germany wanted to do the invading, not combat it.
Their ban of “non-consensual sexual imagery” made several acquaintances of mine – furry art illustrators – move to harmful communities on questionable Mastodon servers. I’m growing tired of those bans on legal content that isn’t inherently harmful (we are talking about fictional humanized animals here) but considered “icky” by platforms and payment processors. So I don’t care if the AT protocol is technologically sup…
You're complaining about the banning of illustrations featuring furries being raped? That's what non-consentual means here? I must be misreading this.
Small aside, consent also depends on the jurisdiction – in mine, it must be verbal, so it means that if I were to draw a situation which involves a character being forced to do something but showing their consent non-verbally, it would still be non-consensual, and thus, forbidden by Bluesky’s terms of service if the PDS was hosted in my jurisdiction.
Anyway, my point is that all those illustrations should be properly labeled, but not necessarily forbidden by Bluesky’s ToS. As I understand it, fictional non-con content being banned by Bluesky means that even hosting it on one’s PDS is a no-go.

Complicit in the sense of complying with the law. What would you prefer they do? If it makes you feel any better, it's more trivially bypassed than any website age-gate I've ever seen. (that's more complicated than a checkbox)
“toxicity and inflammatory” does a lot of heavy lifting for Blueskys moderation team. i find it’s pretty toxic, in a militant way… that doesn’t get moderated of course. That’s “free expression” when it’s about topics blueskyers all agree on. waits to be called a nazi
This accusation would have a little more zing, if the person who owns the other place wasn't posting about white replacement almost every day. Pretty shitty that ones choice of social media is so politicized but if you must pick a side... I will pick the non-nazi side, thank you very much!
