One million users registered for the platform in the last 24 hours, according to Bluesky.
Over 1 million individuals registered for the platform in the last 24 hours, according to Bluesky, which made Thursday night one of the company’s busiest days. This also indicated that the total number of users on the social network had surpassed 16 million.
Hours after Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri reported that Threads had over 15 million sign-ups in November, the site made its announcement. He noted that during the past three months, one million people had signed up every day on the Meta-owned platform.
According to a Bluesky developer, Bluesky also experienced some teething problems Thursday, with some users experiencing service outages due to a cable problem with one of the company’s ISPs that was compounded by other networking hiccups.
X’s prohibition in Brazil, Threads’ moderation problems, and the recent U.S. election results have all contributed to the decentralized social network’s steady user growth in recent months. President-elect Donald Trump was heavily favored by Elon Musk, and the social media platform (previously known as Twitter) frequently included pro-Trump opinions in users’ algorithmic feeds. More than a million additional users joined the site within a week following the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, Bluesky announced on Tuesday.
At the time of writing, Bluesky was at the top of the App Store’s free apps chart in the United States due to the spike in signups over the previous 24 hours followed by chatgpt and Theards.
Compared to Threads, which has more than 275 million active users, and X, Bluesky is still far smaller overall. But earlier this week, Jay Graber, the platform’s CEO, said that Bluesky has more engagement than X.
Additionally, compared to most social media platforms, which have a 90-9-1 lurker-commenter-poster pattern, we have a higher proportion of posters. In a different post, she stated, “We haven’t fallen below ~30% posters.”
The company announced last month that it had raised $15 million in Series A funding headed by Blockchain Capital, with participation from True Ventures, Alumni Ventures, SevenX, Amir Shevat of Darkmode, and Joe Beda, a co-creator of Kubernetes. The business stated that it intended to introduce subscriptions as a new offering.
