Bluesky, a social media platform, has experienced significant growth, reaching over 9 million users as of September 6, according to TechCrunch. This surge includes the addition of 3 million new users in just over a week, primarily from Brazil. The growth spurt follows the blocking of Twitter (X) in Brazil, which has driven many users to seek alternative platforms. Bluesky's user base grew by 50% in the past week, with a notable 30% growth attributed to the influx of Brazilian users. The platform has also announced that video support will be introduced soon.
