Bluesky Surpasses 18 Million Users, Adding 1 Million Daily Amid Exodus from X
Nov 18, 2024, 03:23 AM
Bluesky, a decentralized microblogging platform and an offshoot of Jack Dorsey's Twitter, is experiencing a significant surge in user growth as discontent with Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) increases. Since opening to the public in February, Bluesky's membership has passed 18 million, with reports indicating it is adding up to one million new users per day. More than 116,000 people in the U.S. deactivated their X accounts the day after the election, contributing to the migration. Many users, including journalists, media outlets, and tech professionals, are moving to Bluesky due to dissatisfaction with X's algorithm changes and increased toxicity. However, Bluesky is facing challenges associated with rapid growth, such as a spike in spam, harmful content, and censorship requests. Despite these growing pains, the platform's rapid expansion highlights a significant shift in the social media landscape.
