Bluesky Adds One Million New Users In A Week

The decentralized social media network Bluesky announces one million people have joined the platform within just one week, with it now topping the App Store charts. The influx has come flooding in after the 2024 US Election, with researchers suggesting a more liberal community has moved from X to the platform. In an interview with The Guardian, social media researcher Axel Bruns said Bluesky offered an alternative to Elon Musk’s X: “It’s become a refuge for people who want to have the kind of social media experience that Twitter used to provide, but without all the far-right activism, the misinformation, the hate speech, the bots and everything else. “The more liberal kind of Twitter community has really now escaped from there and seems to have moved en masse to Bluesky.” Just a few weeks ago, around half a million people ditched X in favor for Bluesky after it announced plans to change the block feature. hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!! join Bluesky: https://t.co/x6v5YW0WFTpic.twitter.com/WNHvHh8SvN — bluesky (@bluesky) November 12, 2024 The Tesla CEO has strong ties to the future President, with regular posts of support for the Republican throughout his campaign.
