Bluesky, the decentralized social microblogging platform, has revealed a surge of new users with up to 500,000 accounts registered in a single day. This influx can be attributed to various new policies introduced by X.
In recent days, X users have been notified within the app about changes regarding public posts. Users on the platform can still view public content but are unable to interact, causing dissatisfaction among many users who feel that the blocking function is inadequate.
Furthermore, X has also updated its data usage policy for training AI, with details on consent and potential long-term data retention. These changes may prompt some users to seek out alternative platforms, reminiscent of the shift to Mastodon when Elon Musk acquired it, only this time it’s Bluesky.
The search for alternative platforms is also reflected in Thailand’s app store rankings, where Bluesky and Threads have claimed the top two spots.
TLDR: Bluesky sees a significant influx of new users following new policies by X, prompting some users to consider alternative platforms. Thailand’s app store rankings show Bluesky and Threads at the forefront.
