I'm not perpetually Bluesky. I come and go. I think my last true post before my break was like 2 months ago? I'm still here I just don't need to be here nonstop.

Bluesky has a growth problem

Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March

Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop

But post volume is falling—more users, less activity

It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core

Bluesky Reaches 38 Million Users, Though Post Volume is Declining

Bluesky’s growth momentum has slowed, but it is still growing.

The interns at my job have officially completed their time here. Call me old, but those young adults have a bright future ahead of them. Incredibly smart and with scholarships and one already being with an Associates head start after graduating high school. I'll miss them.

Seriously, I hate that I don't have this game now and I will get it before 2026. But watching @daveedrdw.bsky.social play this and roll credits made me even more excited to play this myself! I know he agrees when I say Donkey Kong Bananza is GOTY or AT LEAST in GOTY selection.

IGN @ign.com · Jul 28

Donkey Kong Bananza's barely been out for a week but already one very determined player has completed the game without touching a single banana.

Okay, yeah your frustration makes 1000% sense. People love turning things into total outings where it doesn't need to be and screaming kids are a bane. I'm so sorry!

I think with my slowly healing mental health and dedication to sticking to some sort of schedule for both my personal and personal professional, I think I will be able to soon go back to streaming and actual content creation. I'm feeling optimistic!

Preparing for a licensing exam this weekend and I feel like I wanna vomit. I forgot how mentally stressful it is for this stuff. I just don't wanna choke.

Something I love about Pokémon and our fandom is that there is always someone out there who loves a particular Pokémon even if they're not "popular". Every Mon gets love from someone somewhere!

King AL 👑 @king2darx.bsky.social · Jul 18

Whoa, I'm back. It's bright up here in the sky. But at least the castle gates are open, right?
