I cant speak to Matt, but the author is @adhutchinson.bsky.social and he hadn’t been on here in 7 or 8 months, and frankly the analysis was contextless and without nuance.

An author that better understood their subject could have discussed how bsky user growth was EME driven, but lately hasn’t been. I don’t think MechaHitler drove much user growth. Dig into that and there’s an interesting bit of insight to elaborate on regarding the future of user growth here!
Regarding the level of activity, he just posted a daily unique posters chart covering two months and called it a day. Why not compare engagement from high profile users and sites that cross post to X, Bsky, and Threads. Why not discuss the slow rise of sportsky?
Andrew doesn’t seem especially familiar with his subject, and his analysis suffers for it. And he’s not writing for a general interest publication. It’s literally called Social Media Today. They’re not sending their best. Or if they are, oof.
