Bluesky has seen its user base soar since the U.S. presidential election, boosted by people seeking refuge from Elon Musk’s X, or wanting an alternative to Meta’s Threads and its algorithms.

Looking for a new social media platform.

Disgruntled X users are once again flocking to Bluesky, a newer social media platform that grew out of the former Twitter before billionaire Elon Musk took it over in 2022.

Social media platform Bluesky has gained 1 million new users in the week since the U.S. election.

As billionaire Elon Musk’s clash with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice came to a head last week, there were legal twists, insults, ultimatums, defiance and then, finally, capitulation.

The Twitter-like social network championed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has emerged from its cocoon and is now allowing anyone to create an account and join the service.

We lost Twitter and got X.

Bluesky is the internet’s hottest members-only spot at the moment.
