This month we return to reporting mailing list numbers.\u00a0 Over the next few months we will likely see large changes in the numbers as the problems that resulted from several service provider changes are corrected.<\/p>\n
Also this month we start reporting on the Bluesky account which was created mid-month.\u00a0 Currently we have just one Blusky account, a Global news feed in English, but if the site continues to grow others will be added.<\/p>\n
As of this month we will be reporting stories posted.<\/p>\n
The first number next to each item is the current total as of today; the second number is the total as of the last report. Where one number is provided it means that there has been no change since our last report.<\/p>\n
Lists or accounts that have shrunk are in italics.\u00a0 Lists or accounts which experienced growth are in bold.<\/p>\n

BLUESKY:<\/p>\n
As an experiment we created a global news in English feed earlier this month.\u00a0 The account is growing far more quickly than any other of our social media accounts ever did.<\/p>\n
Our Mastodon experience, as with most people\u2019s, was not great as the initial excitement wore off quite quickly.\u00a0 That does not appear to be happening with Bluesky.<\/p>\n

X (TWITTER as-was):<\/p>\n
No concerted effort was made in the past month to increase our numbers for these accounts.\u00a0 If we wish to maintain our footprint we will have to start doing so again or the erosion of our numbers will continue.<\/p>\n
We experienced some decline in accounts that usually experience slow growth.\u00a0 This may be the result of trade unionists closing their Twitter accounts and moving to other platforms (such as Bluesky or Mastodon).<\/p>\n
