Bluesky has welcomed over 1 million new users since the recent U.S. presidential election, with its total skyrocketing to more than 14.5 million. This surge has drawn many from X (formerly Twitter), as users seek a space free from the platform's rising misinformation and far-right content, significantly prompted by Elon Musk's changes. Bluesky's user-friendly design and innovative features like direct messaging contribute to its appeal, positioning it as a refreshing alternative amid ongoing political shifts and community diversity.
