Tired of the drama on X? The social media world is buzzing about Bluesky, a rising platform that's quickly gaining traction as a competitor to Elon Musk's X. After controversial changes on X, many users, including Trump supporters, have flocked to Bluesky for a fresh start. Initially accessible only via invite codes, Bluesky is now open to everyone—and it’s shaking up the social media scene. But what exactly is Bluesky, and how can you sign up? Let’s dive into the platform that’s taking over!
Bluesky is a social media platform that emerged after Twitter, which was purchased by Elon Musk, began losing value and millions of users. Particularly after the U.S. elections, where Donald Trump was supported by Elon Musk, many users began migrating away from Twitter, now called X.
Bluesky opened to Android users after a 3-month trial period last year. Even during its beta phase, Bluesky created significant buzz, and after launching, it quickly gained millions of users' attention. Initially, Bluesky required an invitation code, but now anyone can sign up for free.
When X (Twitter) experiences issues, Bluesky becomes the platform of choice for many users.
Bluesky was created by Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter (now X). After Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X, Dorsey introduced Bluesky as a new application to replace the platform Musk was transforming.
Today, Bluesky has successfully reached millions of users.
Until recently, Bluesky required an invitation code to join, but now you can sign up without one. You can access Bluesky via a web browser or download the app from the Play Store or App Store on your phone.
Currently, Bluesky does not require an invitation code, and you can simply create an account by entering your information.
Bluesky, which had been highly anticipated, initially required an invite code to access the app. However, this system has been removed, leading to a significant increase in the number of active users. Bluesky announced that by the end of October, its user base had grown by approximately 2 million users. By the end of 2024, it is expected that Bluesky will have more than 25 million users.
Bluesky operates on a decentralized network, which differentiates it from other social media apps. Often considered a simplified version of Twitter, Bluesky allows users to like and quote posts.
There have been predictions that Bluesky could eventually surpass Twitter, and it seems to be on track to do so.
