That has never happened to me. My number of followers has been fairly consistent, despite all the supposed "defections" from Twitter.

I like BlueSky, but when this platform hits 80 million users, then you can talk to me about "reach."

My 2025 was, on a personal level, generally good. But for the rest of the world it was "annus horribilis." I am less scared than I am annoyed and disgusted by what goes on in this world. We can only do what we can to make things better.
