This repository contains the datasets required to reproduce the results presented in the paper "The Rise of Bluesky." profile_creations.parquet.zip: Profile creation dates for each user (Fig.1a). user_group_date_intervals.pickle.zip: The dates corresponding to each user group (Fig.1a). total_engagement_by_day_by_user.parquet.zip: Daily total activity per user group (Fig.1b, d). active_user_count_per_day_0_8.parquet.zip: Daily number of active users (Fig.1e, f). summary_stats.zip: Files containing daily network statistics such as average degree and node count (Fig.1g). group_degree_distributions.zip: Daily user group out-degree distributions (Fig.1g). clustering_coef.parquet.zip: Clustering coefficients for follower network for each day (Fig.1h). gini_and_kappa.zip: Daily Gini and Kappa statistics (Fig.1i). Due to its large size, the dataset used to construct the follower network in Fig. 1c is not included here. However, it may be made available upon request under exceptional circumstances.
