Bluesky is Australia’s top-ranked social media app in both Apple and Google’s app stores, firming as the social media website of choice for those quitting X.
Social media platform Bluesky has racked up more than 2 million new users since the US election, surging in popularity and posting its highest-traffic day to date as a growing number of users migrate across from Elon Musk’s X.
Bluesky offers a similar experience to X – users create profiles and can post short messages with text and images – and its user interface looks remarkably similar. A key difference is that it relies on decentralised infrastructure, such as cryptocurrencies, meaning no single individual or organisation owns or regulates it.
Meanwhile, Threads is also on the rise. It’s been adding more than a million users a day this month.It all amounts to a hotly contested social media landscape fuelled further by this month’s US poll.
