Bluesky said Wednesday that its total users surged to 15 million, up from roughly 13 million at the end of October.
Thursday, November 14, 2024 11:28PMSocial media site Bluesky has gained 1 million new users in the week since the U.S. election, as some X users look for an alternative platform to post their thoughts and engage with others online.
The post-election uptick in users isn't the first time that Bluesky has benefitted from people leaving X. Bluesky gained 2.6 million users in the week after X was banned in Brazil in August - 85% of them from Brazil, the company said. About 500,000 new users signed up in the span of one day last month, when X signaled that blocked accounts would be able to see a user's public posts.
"I can guarantee that no Bluesky team members will be sitting with a presidential candidate tonight and giving them direct access to control what you see online," Bluesky said. Lemon said he felt X was no longer a place for "honest debate and discussion." He noted changes to the site's terms of service set to go into effect Friday that state lawsuits against X must be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas rather than the Western District of Texas. Musk said in July that he was moving X's headquarters to Texas from San Francisco.
