(VOR News) – The social media network Bluesky has seen a spike in the number of new users, with over a million people signing up since the conclusion of the U.S. presidential election.

This rise can be linked to the fact that users left the platform because they were unhappy with the direction that X was taking under the direction of Elon Musk, the company’s billionaire owner.

It was announced on Wednesday that the microblogging site had achieved 15 million subscribers. Compared to the roughly nine million members it had in September, this is a considerable increase.

However, Bluesky subscriptions have grown since September.

Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, founded Bluesky in 2019, and it has become known as a safe haven for left-leaning users who are unhappy with the route that X has taken under Musk’s leadership. On Twitter, Bluesky has established a reputation as a safe haven.

Throughout its history, BlueSky has established a solid reputation as a safe and secure location.

Bluesky users have attributed their decision to transfer to Bluesky to an increase in offensive content on X and Musk’s connection to Donald Trump, the incoming US president. Bluesky is a social networking site that facilitates knowledge sharing and discussion. These two factors have been mentioned as justifications for switching to the new system.

On Tuesday, Mark Cuban, a billionaire who had previously backed Kamala Harris for vice president prior to the election, released a statement titled “Hello, Less Hateful World.” On Tuesday, Cuban’s comments was made public. When it came to several problems, Cuban supported Harris.

Due to the “disturbing content” that was accessible on the “toxic media platform,” The Guardian newspaper said in a statement on Wednesday that it will no longer print any information about X. This decision was made in part due to the “toxic media platform.”

Racist remarks and Bluesky conspiracy ideas were in this text.

The Guardian stated on its website, “The U.S. presidential campaign has underscored our long-held belief that X is a detrimental media platform, and its owner, Elon Musk, has leveraged its influence to shape political discourse.”

“The presidential election campaign in the United States merely underscored our long-held beliefs.” “The presidential election campaign in the United States merely underscored our long-held beliefs.”

Since we feel that there are more disadvantages to being on X right now than advantages, we think that promoting our work elsewhere would make better use of the resources we now have.

The business has helped to strengthen Bluesky’s reputation as a haven for liberals who are unhappy with their experiences.

There has been conjecture about Musk’s potential presence to observe election results alongside Trump. X responded by saying that none of its employees would be “sitting with a presidential candidate tonight and giving them direct access to control what you see online.”

This was done in response to the accusations made on the website. This was a reaction to the rumor that Musk would be there when Trump announced the election results. Musk was supposed to be there to witness the declaration.

Since Musk took over the site in October 2022, X has experienced multiple waves of user departures, although it still has a far larger user base than Bluesky. This is true even though Bluesky’s user base is already much larger. There are far less users using Bluesky.

Similarweb, a company that tracks internet traffic, estimates that on the day following the U.S. election, approximately 115,000 users who live in the country deleted their X accounts.

According to Similarweb, this figure was roughly determined. This falls into the category of the biggest single-day decrease in history, according to Musk’s leadership.
