Sad news is that bluesky is on a decline while truth social is increasing.

I wonder what will happen to trans kids in the coming years. Trans people shape the soul of the country (since the last 3 years)

It doesn't look like truth social has grown much the last year, sits around 10% of bluesky by active user count. Would be interesting to see more detailed metrics about the amount of content and engagement.

Transgender has been a part of humanity forever, just like we see in other areas of nature. Here's some history going back 150+ years: https://translash.org/articles/drawn-to-history-10-trans-tra...

Why does Forbes post intentionally misleading charts?

The one for Bluesky goes from 9M DAU -> 3.5M DAU

The one for X goes from 149M DAU -> 128M DAU

Yet, the Y axis of both charts are wildly out of proportion to make it look like they are equivalent, which is also implied by the headline but clearly not true.
