Bluesky's Explosive Growth: 1M Daily Joins and 500% Traffic Surge
TL;DR
Bluesky, a social media platform founded with the help of former X CEO Jack Dorsey, is experiencing rapid growth with nearly 1 million new users joining daily, according to CEO Jay Graber. This surge follows a mass exodus from Elon Musk's X, driven by dissatisfaction with its content moderation policies and perceived right-wing bias. Bluesky aims to offer a fun, safe environment free from bots and harassment, allowing users to explore various feeds and form communities. The platform was initially invite-only but opened to all users in February 2023.
