Bluesky, a social media platform developed from a Twitter initiative, saw a surge of one million new users following US President-elect Donald Trump’s recent election victory. Launched as an independent platform in 2021, Bluesky differentiates itself by allowing users to customize their feeds through various algorithms and offering features that promote user safety and anti-toxicity. Unlike X, Bluesky provides more user control and encourages verified identities via domain-based handles. Public figures like Jamie Lee Curtis have made the switch, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with X under Elon Musk’s leadership.
