Bluesky has quickly become the go-to platform for what commentator Max Read has called the 'Politically Engaged Email Job Blob' - the same cohort that helped transform early Twitter into the cultural juggernaut it once was.
According to Similarweb data reported by the Financial Times, Bluesky's user base has ballooned by 300 percent since Election Day. Journalists, academics, and companies are fleeing Elon Musk's chaotic X in droves.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to downplay political content on Threads appears to have turned off many users seeking vibrant public discourse, effectively neutering the platform's potential as a forum for political and cultural debate.
The momentum shift has been nothing short of seismic, especially in the wake of the November 5 election. The Bluesky app has exploded to 3.5 million daily active users, putting it just 1.5 times behind Meta's Threads.
