Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform, has experienced a significant user surge, gaining a million new users in just three days.
The platform announced the milestone following a high-profile legal event. Yesterday, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X platform, escalating a feud that has driven users to seek alternatives.
This influx of new users has propelled Bluesky’s iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, according to a report from TechCrunch.
The rapid growth marks a significant moment for the platform, as it continues to attract users amidst increasing scrutiny of established social media giants.
