Bluesky gains over 10 million users as frustrations with X grow

cbsnews.com

Bluesky has gained over 10 million new users in the past month, reaching more than 22 million total. This surge follows frustrations with X, previously known as Twitter, especially after changes made by Elon Musk, which some users view as partisan. Bluesky offers a user-friendly experience similar to the old Twitter, with less trolling and more engagement. Users can customize their feeds through curated lists, leading to higher interaction rates compared to X, where only 1% of users actively post. The platform, created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is exploring new revenue streams, including subscriptions and financial transactions. Bluesky is now open to all users, moving away from its previous invite-only model.
