X alternative Bluesky reaches 24 million users

Growing frustrations with Twitter – since then renamed to X – have led users to seek alternative short-form social networks. Meta’s Threads grew at a breakneck speed, but the new network that everyone is talking about is Bluesky.

Bluesky just reached 24 million users. You can see the number tick up on Jaz’s Bluesky tracker. There have been over 700 million posts and 3.1 billion likes on the fledgling social network.

A few days ago, US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the first user to reach more than 1 million followers (the one exception is Bluesky’s own account).

Many others are switching over to Bluesky – Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, journalists like Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon, the list keeps growing.

Of course, Threads was making headlines with its explosive growth at one point, now the shine has worn off. Threads is now sitting at 275 million monthly active users, while X has around 611 million. It remains to be seen whether Bluesky will do a better job of maintaining its momentum.
