Bluesky gained 500,000 new users in one day after controversial changes to Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter. These changes include a new policy that allows blocked users to see posts from those who blocked them, raising concerns about user safety. X's updated terms of service also alarm users, as they allow the platform to analyze user data for training artificial intelligence models. These changes will take effect on November 15th. It is unclear if Meta's Threads experienced a similar increase in users following X's updates. The changes have prompted Bluesky to promote itself as a safer alternative.
