This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.
BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:

The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.
BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

Would be interesting to know how many people in that difference between the numbers have really tried, instead of creating an account, posting 2 things and left.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @astrojuanlu@social.coop explanation: more people are going to the latter
