Bluesky may only have a fraction of X's users but the social media site says it has seen a surge in UK users joining its ranks since Elon Musk commented on the riots.
Social media platform Bluesky says it has seen a surge in signups in the United Kingdom in recent days. Since X owner Elon Musk made controversial comments about the riots in the UK, a number of influential figures said they would leave the platform or scale back their use, including home office minister Jess Philips. Now, Bluesky says it has seen a 60% jump in general activity from accounts in the UK, with several MPs also joining the platform recently.
He began a spat with the prime minister when he posted saying civil war was 'inevitable' in Britain, sparking calls for the government to roll out laws policing online content sooner. 'For 5 out of the last 7 days, the UK had the most Bluesky signups of any country,' said Bluesky in a statement on Monday. What is Bluesky? Bluesky is one in a long list of apps that have been looking to replace X after Elon Musk's chaotic takeover of the company in late 2022.
