Congratulations.
From #IPG #socialmedia survey "Nearly half (48%) of publishers now use the platform – a significant spike from 32% just one year ago. More than 4 in 5 (83%) have seen their #Bluesky follower-count rise, making it an even faster-growing platform than Instagram" www.thebookseller.com/news/x-sinks...
X sinks as Instagram and Bluesky spike in IPG social media survey
Independent Publishers Guild members have fled X and are turning to Instagram, Bluesky and TikTok to engage with their readers.
