Bluesky Surges to 20M Users Amidst Exodus from X
TL;DR
Bluesky, a social network competing with Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), has surpassed 20 million users, narrowing the gap with Instagram Threads in terms of daily active users and website visits. Despite Threads having a larger user base, Bluesky's rapid growth, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., suggests it could catch up if the trend continues. The app's popularity surged after the U.S. elections, with significant increases in app usage and downloads, making it the top app on the U.S. App Store.
