"First off, Bluesky has added drafts, a staple on other platforms, which will now bring Bluesky more into line with habitual user behaviors. That'll give users more flexibility in posting, by being able to click out of the composer to research and/or think about the update before submitting. Bluesky has also updated its welcome screen, with new light and dark mode versions of its artwork."
"Well Bluesky had been evolving slowly till August 2024, when the backlash against Elon Musk's changes at Twitter, and his support of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. After Trump won the 2024 election, Bluesky quickly rose from around 5 million users to 20 million just three months later. That then sparked interest in the app as a legitimate Twitter alternative, but since that burst, things have slowed significantly in Bluesky-ville."
"Bluesky added another 10 million users in the three months after that, taking it to 30 million users by March 25. It then took another seven months to add the next 10 million, reaching 40 million users in November last year. The trendline in this graph shows the slowing of Bluesky's growth, while it's also seen a decline in post activity over time."
Bluesky has introduced drafts, updated its welcome screen with new light and dark artwork, and is developing alternative feed options, improved following recommendations, and simplified discovery. The drafts feature allows users to click out of the composer to research or think before submitting, increasing posting flexibility. Bluesky experienced rapid user growth after August 2024, rising from about 5 million to 20 million in three months, then to 30 million by March 25 and to 40 million in November. Growth has slowed and post activity declined, though user engagement appears to be picking up again this year. Bluesky positions itself as an alternative to Twitter.
