Bluesky Surges as Liberals Abandon X for a Troll-Free Space

Bluesky, a social media platform created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has seen a significant increase in users as left-leaning individuals leave Elon Musk's X due to concerns over content moderation and disinformation. The platform now surpasses Meta's Threads in user numbers, although Threads still leads in app usage. Bluesky's growth has been driven by its user-friendly features and the discontent with X, but it faces challenges with outages and its business model. The shift in user preference is also influenced by Meta's de-prioritization of political content and Musk's controversial decisions on X.
