The great X-odus is under way. More than 1 million new users have joined the social media platform Bluesky since the US election.
Many are seeking to escape Elon Musk’s X amid warnings from anti-hate speech campaign groups and the EU about misinformation and extremism on the platform.
But what exactly is Bluesky, why it is proving so popular, and who has already made the move?
What is Bluesky?
Bluesky is a social media platform where people can interact much as they do on X, posting, replying and messaging one another on a vertical user interface.
The recent influx of new users, largely from North America and the UK, has helped it reach more than 15 million users worldwide, up from 9 million in September, the company said.
How did it start out and who owns it?
Bluesky began as a project inside Twitter, after its chief executive, Jack Dorsey, announced in 2019 that the company would fund developers to create an “open and decentralised standard for social media”. Bluesky became an independent company in 2021 and is now primarily owned by the chief executive, Jay Graber.

Is this a conservative site worth visiting?
Evil uncle Elon owns X and he supports PDJT.
Another liberal echo chamber that will eat itself within months? Another failed experiment to create the 'X Killer'? The next source of victims in The Guardian's attempt to grift money and donations for 'reporting' the 'truth'?
I've got more...
Two words: Air America.
I went and looked. They are falsely advertising that they are “bipartisan”. There is nothing bipartisan about that platform at all. It is a shark feeding frenzy bolstering the insane left alternative reality.
The Guardian evangelizing the soon to be Rat cesspool — imagine that.
Twittercratic Underground
Another Chinese social app.
It’s a platform for pearl clutchers.
IOW, DU on steroids.
Now they're going to Bluesky? "Bluesky. We're just like Twitter except with only 0.01% of the users and we suspend accounts like the old Twitter you knew and loved did."
They'll be back.
It’s a place all the liberals that quit X go
All you need to know is that it was formed by somebody who used to work for Musk. (Can’t wait for the lawsuits about the theft of intellectual property from X.)
Expect censorship of ‘disinformation’, I believe it will be the new home of progressives/liberals/commies everywhere.
One month later they all came back to X.
Libs after Trump's reelection: "Let's all go to Bluesky!"
From what I’ve been able to learn so far, Blue Sky would be the opposite of Red Sky. A great place to go where you can hang out with the liberal whiners and screamin’ banshees who don’t want to share Thanksgiving dinner with you.
KamaLOL joined because she thought it was called "Blowguys"...
“1 million new users”
X has 370 million users.
