Bluesky, an alternative social networking platform, has made headlines by attracting former President Barack Obama, who joined to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. His presence lends credibility to the platform, which has been experiencing significant growth, especially among users disillusioned with X, formerly known as Twitter. The recent exit of politically progressive users from X to Bluesky has been noteworthy, leading to the latter surpassing 33 million users, alongside the engagement of various other U.S. politicians. Obama's confirmation via Bluesky's community manager affirms the platform's legitimacy and appeal.
Figured I'd hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it's easy to feel like regular folks can't make a difference - but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
Confirmed! In response to doubts about the legitimacy of Obama's account on Bluesky, Rose Wang verified that the former president is indeed using the platform.
Following the 2024 U.S. elections, many left-leaning users migrated from X to Bluesky, contributing to a substantial increase in Bluesky's user base.
Bluesky has now attracted over 33 million users, and its growth has accelerated with the presence of notable political figures from the U.S.
