Didn't know it was that large yet, that's pretty good! The point is whether 700k leaving twitter says anything about a trend. Bluesky could be twice the size of twitter without changing the point.

I will probably start using Bluesky and Mastodon shortly.

I started in software and moved on to physics, which has a lot of programming and is similar in many ways. Still, it's different and I like that I made the choice. I will soon have contributed to physics in a small but meaningful way, which was my reason for switching. I plan to stop after that and just go back to programming. Posts like these make me think I should switch again but to an even more orthogonal subject.
