Last week I presented our (@giuliorossetti.bsky.social) open #Bluesky dataset at @netsciconf.bsky.social.

We release augmented, anonymized content/network data from 81% of users over a year.

If you have the feeling that @bsky.app is different, maybe you are right.

The current migration is breaking the typical rich-get-richer effect wrt other platforms #scaling
