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.

Lovely to see this place thriving. If you follow me and I haven't followed you back yet it may be because you don't have a bio or a picture (it doesn't have to be a photo of you). Have a lovely day.
