Bluesky Emerges as a Leading Alternative to Elon Musk's X

The decentralized social media platform gains popularity amid dissatisfaction with changes at X, attracting millions of new users.

Bluesky, conceptualized by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is a decentralized social media platform that has gained over 14.5 million users.
The platform saw a significant increase in users following policy changes at X, including controversial adjustments to the block feature and AI training on user posts.
Bluesky offers a Twitter-like interface with customizable algorithms and a federated design, allowing users to choose their moderation communities.
The platform's growth has been fueled by dissatisfaction with X's rise in toxic discourse and changes to its terms of service, prompting users to seek alternatives.
Bluesky, now led by CEO Jay Graber, aims to sustain itself through subscription services for premium features, avoiding reliance on advertising.
