My experience with the fully community-driven approach is this, every time:

Devs have a blast rapidly iterating in a community
A bunch of projects come out, none of which work exactly right
The technology keeps missing key features
Users never come
Everybody gets super frustrated
The devs abandon

Bluesky has just hit the 2 Million User Mark!!!!

It's been just about 2 months since we hit 1M users

Daily stat changes from 1M -> 2M Users:
Posts per Day: ~500k -> ~800k
Likes per Day: ~2M -> ~3M
Daily Active Posters: ~100k -> ~160k
Daily Active Likers: ~140k -> ~240k

Wooo running with staging.bsky rn and great to see all the functionality working as expected in browser on my Android!

Ok finally got this thing up and running. Thanks for helping me get set up @willscott.bsky.social!
