Oh... little self promotion? "Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #42,086!" Not quite the low number of the old but gone twitter but I'll take it. Rarely in the 1% club, unless its the 1% of people of colour in a room 😅 Still most of my posts are on the #fediverse

Bluesky is celebrating 10 million users and I'm number 42,086 / One of the first 1%.
