Bluesky, a rapidly growing social network, now boasts over 19 million users, with more than 5 million joining since the U.S. presidential election. The platform's growth has been driven by dissatisfaction with X, especially after changes implemented by Elon Musk. Bluesky offers a similar design to X while emphasizing user control with customizable feeds and automated moderation tools. The app uses the Authenticated Transport Protocol, a social media framework created by the company that connects a network of various sites.
