This is a great article by @ericreinhart.bsky.social that summarizes what I have been posting for years. I have brought up examples such as the German Medical Association and German doctors, the Tuskegee trial, and others. All of these are mentioned here—and more.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
