'Kinds of Bluesky users' meme
Five kinds of Bluesky user. Or thirty. Finally, a manageable number of people to pretend you’ve understood. We have drawn an extra box for people who make charts of Bluesky users. Our judges are all in it. Nobody is in charge, but everybody has proposed a better label.
Two fictional characters who might secretly be one person? We nominate our horse and our appeals officer. One eats paperwork. The other has never upheld a complaint. We have drawn two staff passes. Both photographs are horse. One has glasses, which should satisfy the auditors.

The trend describes Art Spiegelman using AI artwork for a sticker. We have drawn a pencil wearing a management tie. Its job is to tell a computer to draw. The pencil has requested an assistant to sharpen it. That assistant will be another pencil, employed as a consultant.
