There are a lot of people making a move from the Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky.
The micro-blogging social media platform, considered by some to be an alternative to X and the Meta-owned Threads, has gained millions of additional new users, especially since the 2024 presidential election, amid criticism of X’s toxic nature and bot overload. (The Guardian also left X, citing far-right conspiracy theories and racism.)
“We’re excited to welcome everyone looking for a better social media experience,” Bluesky CEO Jay Graber told CNBC in a statement. Find out more about what it is!
Lots of celebrities are also setting up accounts on Bluesky now as well, and there are over 18.5 million users and counting.

Congrats to @bluesky for all the new users
My 2 cents. Find every news source the has an RSS feed or equivalent and create accounts that that show their public deeds on here under @johndoetimesfeed
That way we all get access to news without having to wait for them to create accounts first.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Those who left the bad place, did you delete your tweets first or just deactivate?
#tweetdelete is taking FOREVER to close up shop over there for me and I didn’t want to just deactivate.
I wanted to delete the old but still pop-in quarterly to randomly post Black folks stuff to anger the Nazis.
