While having been online since 2019, Bluesky, the progressive social media hit, is just now experiencing a major increase on their platform due to an exodus from Elon Musk’s X. Americans have been flocking to the site since Election 2024 and they’ve been doing so in extremely large numbers recently getting to the million-mark of new users in one day.
Bluesky is marvelous. It looks like Twitter what did before Elon Musk changed the name to X and all the MAGAs took over it. It’s logo is a blue butterfly. Think blue flying thing!
Already, some high-profile folks, like Taylor Swift, Mark Cuban and many others, are on the platform, Bluesky has hit #1 on the App Store charts for Free Apps in both the UK and US.
It’s bent is progressive, thought-provoking, and truth-based. To prove their trustworthiness to users, folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nick Fuentes were kicked off the platform.
“It had 16.7m users at the time of writing” and promises to grow significantly and daily. It’s worth checking out for any Democrat, progressive, or freethinker. My own handle there is @darhlenez.bsky.social. Check it out and follow me.

I just recently joined BlueSky and I think it’s wonderful. I do have the same two issues with BlueSky that I had with pre-Musky Twitter.
Unless one has a massive number of followers one’s voice seems to be lost in the crowd.
To get that massive number of followers one has to invest a lot of time (something to do during commercials and time outs in sporting events)
