Bluesky User Base Surpasses 12 Million Amid Twitter Changes

According to PANews, decentralized social platform Bluesky has seen its user base exceed 12 million, positioning itself as a strong competitor to Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter). The report highlights that Bluesky gained over 1 million new users within just 48 hours. This surge in users is attributed to a series of adjustments made by Musk to Twitter, including allowing third-party AI developers to use user data for model training and modifying the blocking feature, which has raised concerns about privacy and content control among users. Additionally, Twitter's decision to shift its legal jurisdiction from California to the Northern District of Texas has sparked widespread discussion. Taking advantage of Twitter's turbulent situation, Bluesky has emphasized its user-centric policies and commitment to online safety. Previously, Bluesky experienced rapid growth in markets like Brazil during times when Twitter faced bans and controversies. Bluesky's decentralized structure and focus on user control have attracted those seeking alternatives to traditional social platforms, especially in the context of heightened concerns over AI data usage and privacy issues.
