Over the past few days, the @leavex account has gained almost 500 new followers. Until recently, the Bluesky account (@leavex.eu) had nearly 1000 followers and was ahead of the Fediverse version. That situation has now reversed.

This shift seems closely tied to the recent revamp of the #LeaveX campaign, which now includes statistics on how many politicians are still using X. Increased visibility also played an important role: the project was shared widely by @randahl, an account with a large following, which likely contributed significantly to the surge in followers.

What’s particularly interesting is that the Mastodon account consistently receives more attention and interaction than the Bluesky account. This suggests that, at least for political topics, engagement currently can run deep on the Fediverse.
