This shift comes amid concerns over increased toxic content and Musk's influence on X. Major brands and celebrities are leaving X, citing its polarizing nature and Musk's rhetoric. Bluesky has gained over 1 million new users recently, reflecting a broader trend of users migrating to other platforms.

Bluesky Gains 700,000 Users as X Exodus Follows Trump Election Win

Following the U.S. presidential election, many users dissatisfied with X (formerly Twitter) are migrating to Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform. Bluesky's user base has surged from 9 million in September to over 14.6 million, briefly making it the No. 2 iPhone app in the U.S. App Store. The platform's growth is attributed to its higher engagement rates and customizable features, contrasting with X's perceived right-wing bias under Elon Musk's ownership. Concerns remain about Bluesky potentially becoming partisan, but its decentralized nature offers users more control over their experience.
