The platform crossed the milestone last night, and it happened about a month and a half after the 25 million mark. Bluesky still has a long way to go to pass Threads, though; Meta’s platform has more than 100 million daily active users.

Why would Bluesky be?
It has a responsibly to its owners to maximise profit.
So they will block & force-promote just like any Twitter or Facebook.
And what is self-moderation? The block function? Or like choosing your interests (like subscribing to tags/channels/instances)?
Bluesky has moderation lists that anyone can make and you can subscribe to them to choose what content you don’t want to see. It also gives you fine-grained control over the “default” moderation, allowing you to individually choose if you want to block nudity, threats, misinformation, spam, intolerance, etc.
