Bluesky: The New Social Haven for Fleeing X Users

TL;DR Summary
Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to Elon Musk's X, with around one million new sign-ups daily. The platform, which resembles the old Twitter, allows users to host their data on independent servers. Bluesky's growth has been fueled by political divisions and dissatisfaction with X, as well as endorsements from celebrities. Despite its rapid expansion, Bluesky faces challenges in monetization, as it seeks alternatives to advertising, such as paid services for custom domains.
