No they’re not? https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

Yes they are? E.g., https://api.backlinko.com/app/uploads/2025/11/bluesky-websit...

This is also visible in your stats if you extend the time window. They had a peak in 2024 and are pretty much declining month to month ever since.

Are we seeing the same? All the stats are steadily going down https://i.imgur.com/QJakG56.png
I’d describe that last six months as ‘sideways’ —- what was that surge near the end of last year?
I believe that surge was Elon announcing AI image editing on X and a bunch of Japanese artists and their followers trying out Bluesky.
My understanding was the end of year time off / holidays, as compared to the dip around thanksgiving.
Jaz's stats are sus, use this instead: https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/index.html
Ah, I didn't realize the link I shared was Jaz's (it was shared in another comment), but they look similarly sideways over the past 6 months, with a noticeable bump in Dec / Jan.
These specific stats are likely not as bad, I mainly take issue with the "user" count they promote.
