"I used the ticker mainly because I thought it looked neat, but it also provided more visual feedback about the actual speed of how fast Bluesky is growing," Bridgers tells Fast Company.
"Interest in Bluesky comes as X users have noticed a marked difference in their feeds over the past several months... a growing number of X users have decided to take their screen time elsewhere."
"There are other Bluesky user counter sites too, like one Bridger was inspired by made by assistant professor and Bluesky user Theo Sanderson, proving there's an audience eager to watch how fast the social network grows."
"She added the other data underneath the counter, showing the users-per-second growth rate and time until next update, because I wanted more transparency about when updates happen and why the counter is going up at the speed it's going up at."
