Bluesky, the Twitter-like social media platform that emerged as an alternative for X users who had become frustrated with Elon Musk’s ownership of the platform, is having a second wind.
When Mr. Musk bought X — then called Twitter — in October 2022, competitors like Mastodon and Hive Social received a rush of new users.
Other competitors came on the scene later, including Threads and Bluesky, and were welcomed with surging sign-up requests.
Since the 2024 presidential election, Bluesky has added millions of new users, its chief executive said.
Whether you’ve left X for a new home or simply want to understand one of the most downloaded free apps, here is what you need to know about Bluesky.
