Bluesky Soars as Users Flock from X Amid Rapid Growth

Bluesky, a social media platform, has experienced a rapid surge in users, reaching 21 million, largely due to users leaving X (formerly Twitter) following Elon Musk's acquisition. This unexpected growth has put the company in 'firefighting mode' as it races to expand server capacity to maintain service stability. Bluesky's COO, Rose Wang, highlighted the challenges of scaling and the shift in priorities towards moderation and infrastructure over new features. The company plans to introduce a paid subscription model by year-end to enhance user experience.

Bluesky Surges to 20M Users Amidst Exodus from X

Bluesky, a social network competing with Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), has surpassed 20 million users, narrowing the gap with Instagram Threads in terms of daily active users and website visits. Despite Threads having a larger user base, Bluesky's rapid growth, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., suggests it could catch up if the trend continues. The app's popularity surged after the U.S. elections, with significant increases in app usage and downloads, making it the top app on the U.S. App Store.
