comparing these charts of twitter, threads, bluesky users reflects so much about their respective user bases. 

@langchain's chart (see quoted cast) is mobile DAU. twitter on small decline, threads on strong linear rise -- both approaching 140M.

my chart shows web DAU. on the right: threads on the rise, but not even 8M DAU. on the left: twitter very solidly ~140M DAU.

bluesky hard to tell but seems like its 1.1M mobile DAU and 5.3M avg web DAU.

threads mobile to web ratio is 16:1. twitter's is 1:1. bluesky is 1:5.

- threads: pure phone scrollers and posters (makes sense, they came from instagram)

- twitter: equal parts doomscrollers and desktop power users (think journalists, traders, tech bros who keep a pinned tab open all day). that 1:1 ratio is why its web ad inventory and data APIs still matter imo.

- bluesky: mostly journalists/academics posting or lurking from their laptops; mobile app is mostly an afterthought

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation
