oh . perfect.

hey technical bluesky. i have a challenge for you.

tail the firehose on bluesky and calculate how many posts per second there are.

its 90-130 today. my observation is that its trending downward by 15-30 posts a second per day despite the upward alleged user growth.

and is that number going up or DOWN despite allegedly being 20x bigger than ever and a million new accounts a day?

#!/bin/bash

./websocat4.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl wss://jetstream.atproto.tools/subscribe\?wantedCollections=app.bsky.feed.post |pv --line-mode --rate > /dev/null

so what are these millions of new accounts if they dont post anything?
