Some highlights:<\/p>\n

* Our mailing lists are shrinking in size, largely due to the effect of GDPR – which prevents us from automatically signing up new supporters for our campaigns. All of our top 10 lists have gotten smaller, and the only lists to grow were three of the small ones (Esperanto, Indonesian and Ukrainian).<\/p>\n

* Growth on Facebook has also been tiny, with a number of our pages showing declines. This cannot be blamed on GDPR.<\/p>\n

* Some good news: Our larger feeds on Twitter are growing well – 240 new followers for our main English global feed, 559 for our Canadian feed in English, and 258 for our US feed. But our smaller feeds remain neglected, we are not posting regularly to them, and they are not growing.<\/p>\n

In the list below, the first number is the current total, the second one is our previous total.<\/p>\n
