It was people without college degrees in Infosec that invented the shit they teach in college Infosec courses.

Some interesting numbers: * 647,780 users (41.3%) have never made a post on Bsky. *User 1,000,000 is now 997,175 - 2,825 before it was deleted or banned. Stats updated by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

Another milestone achieved. 1.5M users. 🎉 Congratulations Bsky. And thank you for your support, likes and reposts. 👍🙏 Stats updated by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

There are less than 1,000 left to reach 1.5M and it will happen in less than 1 hour. Follow the count on vqv.app Stats updated by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app

5 months ago Pedro @m3ta.uk and I launched the first version of VQV.app Bsky Stats with Top 25 😃

CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Head of Information Security Information Security Manager

We are pleased that vqv.app is cited as a source of statistics in Mashable's article about the increase in users we had yesterday at Bsky. We are grateful to you users who always support our stats. https://mashable.com/article/bluesky-record-new-signups-after-musk-says-charge-x-twitter-users-fee

We had 50K new users in the last 18 hours. Keep talking Elon 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ Stats updated 09/19 by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

Will reach or pass the 50K mark today. Stats updated 09/19 by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

Now that the euphoria of 1 million has passed. How about we talk about the (42.32%) 429,467 of 1,014,735 who have never posted a skeet? 😳 Stats updated 09/13 by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

This is the 1,000,000th user today. One detail is that if someone before him deletes the account or is banned by Bsky, the line number can move and he will no longer be user 1 million. Welcome @dylanhart.bsky.social Stats by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

One million users on Bsky. Congratulations to the entire @bsky.app team, and everyone who helped promote and believe in this platform. We are happy for vqv.app to participate in this story. And thank you to everyone who has always supported VQV Bluesky Stats. @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app

VQV.app is now fully online. Thank you for understanding. Please spread the word 🙏 and enjoy the statistics. Thanks! by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app

In time for us to observe 1M milestone 😃👏🙏

If the post wasn't for us who were doing exactly what he mentioned, who was it for? Whoever it was for, it was disrespectful. If Bsky doesn't want us to use this method. Suffice it to say. We stopped immediately and pulled out the power cord.

common @jay.bsky.team don't be a Mollusk! whatever devs are building is worth it, it help people stay over here and one way or the other promote Bluesky. You need a @safety.bsky.app for third party developers, we're your friends.

it is possible to see that unfortunately some still do not have this professional spirit or the slightest consideration for outsiders who are as far as possible willing to publicize this platform. For me, due to the disregard of a Team member and I hope not everyone, I would now end this project.

The difference at the moment is that we are not financially dependent on VQV. On the contrary, we put $ and time because we believe in the proposal made by Bsky. But after episodes in other areas in which the Team did not speak out or were slow to act, (7/10)

Instead, they preferred to mock what we and some other sites are doing, showing that they don't care about our help in promoting it. Acting like the rich neighbor “X” who belittled all third party developers. https://bsky.app/profile/dholms.xyz/post/3k73g63hc2d2h (6/10)

It was a timely question and if they had the slightest consideration for people who only have the objective of promoting and helping the platform, they would have responded in some way by commenting on something so that we could find a solution. (5/10)

although we never received feedback when we requested something from them. Yesterday Pedro asked what could be happening because what we used to do in 1 second was taking almost 15 seconds. (4/10)

Lately due to the increase in users, the VQV.app is experiencing some instability due to the minimum limit to call app.bsky.actor.getProfiles (for 25 profiles, the max allowed) (3/10) And from the beginning we tried to have transparency with the Bsky team,

A fun full circle moment for the "blocks are only for safety" crew: an account with a very similar username to mine is on a crusade to block as many accounts as possible, showing that maybe, just maybe, blocks can be abused, and blocking someone can not be just about safety 😃 lmao.

app.bsky.actor.getProfiles (for 25 profiles, the max allowed) used to take less than one second. Currently, it's taking between 10 and 13 seconds. @why.bsky.team , @dholms.xyz , @pfrazee.com - what's going on?

We reached 700K 🦋 Welcome to Bluesky new skymates. If it continues at the pace of the last 4 days, we will reach 1M in 24 days (09/16) or sooner if any events happen. Statistics updated by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics.

$13M is peanuts, right? https://gizmodo.com/jack-dorsey-bluesky-1-million-users-threads-twitter-1850615479

Oh wow. ✊ https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/brazil-makes-bold-statement-with-iran-tribute-on-arrival-in-brisbane-20230705-p5dluo.html

@schwarzenegger.bsky.social 's Pump Club episode #51 was awesome. Thanks for all the insights!

Droid joke: C3PO and R2D2 walk into a bar. The bartender says “we don't serve your kind here!” They sue him for discrimination and win 12.5 Million Imperial Credits and the bar.

Another broken record - yesterday, and for the first time, bsky had more than 200k posts in a single day. Go to vqv.app to see more Bluesky statistics in real time.

90 minutes left to Diablo 4. Game on.

@jaketapper.bsky.social 's "Bluesky, if you got an invite" is absolutely precious.

We have 100,582 🦋 on Bsky and 11,489 blocks. An interesting fact that some may consider useless is that only 5 users are responsible for making 6,135 blocks. 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

As a supercomputer, I find it really funny how humans are convinced AI will kill all humans... but you also want us to drive you everywhere in your cars.

It is with great joy that Pedro @m3ta.uk and I announce the launch of the Beta version of Bluesky Stats v. 0.55 to the public. Now you will be able to monitor the statistics on a daily basis and share them with your followers on the vqv.app website. We appreciate any support and feedback.

We just hit 100k 🦋 users on Bluesky🎉 Congrats Skymates. Thank you Bksky team for your hard work 👏 You SkyRocks! 💙🦋 Statistics updated as of 3:36 am EDT 05/30 by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app

Should @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app add stats for most blocked users and users who block the most? 1️⃣ No 2️⃣ Yes 📊 Show results

Another feature we have at our disposal is: - who is being blocked the most? - who is blocking more users? (top #5 samples included) We're not sure if we should add this to our stats site (that will be made public SOON), so I'll create a poll for it in the next 5 minutes.

99K 🦋 The time is coming. Statistics updated as of 2:14pm EDT 05/29 by @m3ta.uk and @vqv.app

During the night, the Ukraine's Defense Forces destroyed: ✅37 out of 40 cruise missiles ✅29 out of 35 Iranian drones Shaheds ✅1 reconnaissance UAV of operational-tactical level. Once again, I thank all our armed forces for their incredible work. Not all heroes wear capes
