The received wisdom is that growth on Mastodon and Bluesky comes from big waves of new users who flee other networks when their owners say or do something particularly evil.

Here, he takes a look at what's happening.

The image shows a scene on a highway with a white caravan and a white car towing a boat trailer. The caravan is on the left side of the road, while the car is in the right lane. The road is marked with white lines, and there is a blue road sign in the background. The sky is clear and blue, and there are trees and fields visible in the background. The text overlay on the image reads, "This man was on Bullseye twice."
