🦋 Why Are X Users Flocking to Bluesky?
In just the past week, the number of Bluesky users has grown from 16.5 million to 21 million. Since the beginning of the month, the "new Twitter" audience has increased by 1.5 times.
📞 What is this platform?
Twitter founder Jack Dorsey launched Bluesky as an alternative to X. The platform's interface is almost identical to the old Twitter.
Bluesky's key feature is decentralization. The open AT protocol will eventually allow developers to create networks separate from the main platform, allowing bloggers to choose their moderation tools. This is similar to how the Mastodon platform works.
Most people are leaving X for Bluesky because they disagree with how Elon Musk has managed the social network since acquiring it in 2022.
What’s Wrong with 📱?
⚫️ X uses audience data to train AI and may share it with third-party companies. Bluesky explicitly states that it will not allow such practices on its platform.
⚫️ Under new leadership, X users have noticed controversial changes in content moderation rules, especially in political discussions.
⚫️ New features, interface updates, and monetization methods have been met with skepticism by the platform's audience.
⚫️ Elon Musk actively supported Donald Trump during the U.S. presidential race. After Trump's victory, Musk joined his administration. On X, Musk has also been highly critical of OpenAI and has pushed for aggressive measures against competitors in the AI industry.
