Bluesky Surges to 1 Million Users Amid Mass Exodus from X Post-Election

Bluesky has gained over 1 million new users since the US presidential election, reaching more than 15 million users, as many people leave Elon Musk's platform, X. The increase in Bluesky's user base is attributed to dissatisfaction with X's environment, perceived as increasingly toxic and polarized, especially during the election period. Bluesky is seen as a refuge for those seeking a social media experience similar to Twitter's earlier days, without the far-right activism and misinformation. The platform's growth is also supported by new features and innovations.
