Bluesky Gains Momentum as Users Flee Elon Musk's X

A surge in Bluesky sign-ups follows dissatisfaction with X's policies and Elon Musk's political involvement.

  • Bluesky, a decentralized social network, has seen rapid growth, reaching over 16 million users as discontent with X rises.
  • The platform's user-friendly interface and moderation policies appeal to those leaving X due to concerns over misinformation and hate speech.
  • Elon Musk's association with Donald Trump's administration has prompted further departures from X, including notable figures and media outlets.
  • Bluesky's decentralized AT Protocol offers transparency and customization, attracting users seeking more control over their social media experience.
  • Despite its growth, Bluesky faces competition from other platforms like Threads, which boasts a significantly larger user base.
