What is driving the surge in Bluesky's user base
Description
Bluesky experienced significant user growth following the recent U.S. presidential election, attracting over a million new users from the U.S., Canada, and the UK. This increased its total user count to 15 million, overcoming competitors and reaching the top of the iPhone free apps list. Users migrated from X due to dissatisfaction with changes made by Elon Musk. Bluesky gained 1.2 million users in two days when X faced backlash over controversial updates. Originally conceived within Twitter in 2019, Bluesky became independent in 2022, utilizing a unique user handle system. The platform allows users to host data on Bluesky's servers or their own and lets users curate feeds by topics like "Science," "Art," and "News." Currently, Bluesky operates without ads while pursuing alternative monetization methods. Users can post up to 300 characters, slightly exceeding X's limit of 280. Bluesky transitioned from an invite-only model to public access in February, amassing 3 million users during the invite phase.
