Bluesky has seen its user base soar since the U.S. presidential election, boosted by people seeking refuge from Elon Musk’s X, which they view as increasingly leaning too far to the right given its owner’s support of President-elect Donald Trump, or wanting an alternative to Meta’s Threads and its algorithms.
The platform grew out of the company then known as Twitter, championed by its former CEO Jack Dorsey. Its decentralized approach to social networking was eventually intended to replace Twitter’s core mechanic. That’s unlikely now that the two companies have parted ways. But Bluesky’s growth trajectory — with a user base that has more than doubled since October — could make it a serious competitor to other social platforms.
But with growth comes growing pains. It’s not just human users who’ve been flocking to Bluesky but also bots, including those designed to create partisan division or direct users to junk websites.

Wait, they’re telling that bots direct users to junk websites? Get outa town!
I’m sure we can rely on AP to tell us what is happening at blue cesspool.
“These are not the Bots you should be looking for!”
clapping happily
Twitter 335.7 million users. Twitter has 251 million daily users as of Dec 2024
Bluesky (The Alt Left echo chamber site) any where from 1 to 10 million daily users out of 25 million registered users as of Dec 2024.
How many Bluesky users have already been censored and canceled?
It is a circular firing squad—shooting bots and humans with equal fervor.
:-)
Sounds like the AP is describing itself, along with the rest of the legacy media. (See Tagline.)
I believe it's clear Bluesky has peaked with users. There won't be much growth other than bots and if they work to get rid of bots their daily user numbers will fall.
When I first read “Bluesky,” I thought it rhymed with “brewski.”
And the sooner Bluesky falls, the better.
An article yesterday said BlueSky is getting filled with porn.
they no doubt sold the rights to various A.I. start ups to scrape info for large language model training.
Nice work on Promoting that place OP!
But they already have the DU echo chamber why do they need another?
As it should, comrade! Blue-ski.
“An article yesterday said BlueSky is getting filled with porn.”
Good... I hope they get busted for child porn. They don’t have the sense to restrain themselves. They think it should be a legal right. They will step on their own arrogant toes at some point.
Bluesky is for radical leftists who never want to hear a different opinion than their own.
