Bluesky Usage Down Nearly 40% Year After Election-Threads, Trump's Truth Social See Gains
"Though Bluesky's traffic held steady for a few months, slightly rising from 5.8 million average daily active users in October 2024 to 6 million in March 2025, traffic began to plunge every month afterward, hitting a low of 3.5 million daily active users on mobile devices in October 2025."
"Usage of X also dropped 13.3% year-over-year over the same period, dipping from 148.5 million daily active users on mobile worldwide in October 2024 to 128.8 million daily active users in October 2025. X's decline stands in stark contrast to the Meta-owned, text-based social media platform Threads, launched in 2023 as a challenger to X, which saw a 53% surge in average daily active users over the same period (and saw it overtake X)."
"Bluesky's number of average daily active users on mobile devices worldwide is down 39.8% year-over-year as of the end of October, according to data from Similarweb, a digital market intelligence company, a much steeper decline than other major social networks over the same period."
