Bluesky picks up 700,000 new users in one week as more people exit X
Briefly

Bluesky has "become a refuge for people who want to have the kind of social media experience that Twitter used to offer," indicating its appeal amid discontent with X.
In just the past week, Bluesky took in more than 700,000 new members, mostly from the US, signaling a significant shift in user preference as X's numbers dwindle.
The decline of X's user base—dropping from about 611 million to 586 million—demonstrates a notable backlash, particularly in the US and UK, as factors like toxicity drive users away.
Bluesky's recent growth, attributed to its no longer invite-only requirement, reflects a critical turning point as users seek alternative platforms amid dissatisfaction with X.
