Brazil's X users, left casting about for a new platform, mostly started washing up on Threads and Bluesky.
Everyone hadn't been on X; Brazil's social masses are primarily on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook .
So as X went dark in this highly online country of 213 million, its users started migrating.
Meta declined to provide specifics on Brazilian users.
Bluesky gained 2.6 million users since last week, 85% from Brazil, the company said Wednesday, boosting its total to over 8 million.
