"The invite-only social media app has grown to roughly 60,000 users, and currently has a waiting list of 1.2 million people."

This is an important stat to remember when discussing #Bluesky. Only 60K users and its already a cesspool of hateful comments, like #Twitter. Imagine how that scales as more people get onboarded.

This isn't to say #Mastodon doesn't or won't have similar issues, but with approx. 11-12 million users already I haven't seen it.
