Elon Musk’s X Still prohibit In Brazil.
In addition, Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes said that any user who attempts to access Twitter through a VPN will face fines of thousands of dollars per day.
Therefore, the Brazilian poster needed a new place to post it. It seems that many Brazilian X users have found a new online social media platform in the form of X competitor Bluesky.
Last week, just five days after Brazil banned Musk’s X from listing in the country for failing to appoint a legal representative, Bluesky declare 2.6 million new users have joined the platform in the past few days alone.
Bluesky said that 85% of these millions of new registered users are from Brazil.
Friday, blue sky declare That morning, they hit 3 million new users.
Mix and match speed of light
This brings Bluesky’s total user base to 9 million, 50% of whom joined the platform in the past week.
Bluesky’s user base continues to grow after Brazil’s X ban
Bluesky is X competitor Received Before Musk acquired the company, Twitter invested $13 million at the time. However, Bluesky has much smaller Threads than X and its main competitor, Meta.
But even without significant support from the company that also owns Facebook and Instagram, Bluesky remains competitive and is often considered the third most popular microblogging platform after X and Threads. Bluesky has become a primary platform for certain niche users, including artists and progressive users who have been put off by Musk’s right-wing politics.
Then there’s the invite-only platform Bluesky accumulated By November 2023, with some social media users fleeing X due to Musk’s leadership, the number of users will reach 2 million. The blue sky has arrived people And the invitation requirement was lifted in February this year.
In May, Bluesky shared that it was coming 6 million users – seems to have reached this number July.
It took Bluesky about 8 months to acquire 4 million new users, growing from 2 million users to 6 million. Because of Musk and the company’s feud with Moraes, Bluesky was able to add 3 million new users in just one week.
So, what’s next for Lan Tian? In its post sharing its new user base of 9 million, Bluesky promised that a long-requested feature – video uploads – would soon be coming to the platform.
Additionally, Musk’s feud with Brazil seems to show no sign of ending, so Bluesky will likely continue to benefit from X’s ban in the country.
