How many users on X (Twitter) or Bluesky are bots? It's reasonable to assume the percentages are the same, given the lack of public information for the major text-based broadcast social networks. X is estimated to have 250M daily active users. Mark Zuckerberg recently stated that Threads' DAUs were 100M. Threads achieving a bit under half the size in such a short time is impressive, especially since Threads still lacks many features that X has had for years.


> It's reasonable to assume the percentages are the same

It's reasonable to assume they're worse. Bluesky doesn't have Facebook's network or surveillance apparatus. Neither does Twitter, except it's a higher-value target than Bluesky and Threads combined.
