Bluesky already has over 9 million users
Bluesky keeps growing: The company announced that on Friday morning the number of latest users increased to three million, bringing the overall variety of users to over 9 million.
In other words, the social media platform’s user base has grown by about 50 percent within the week or two since a Brazilian court banned X (formerly Twitter). The ban catapulted Bluesky to the highest of the free iPhone app charts in Brazil, where currently ranks secondbehind the competing app Meta Threads.
In addition to providing the newest user data, Bluesky also assured old and recent users that video support “will be available soon.”
The platform began as a Twitter-backed initiative to create an open social protocol. It has since grow to be an independent, venture-backed startup and opened fully to the general public in February.
IN earlier post of growth, Bluesky said 85% of its recent users are Brazilian. Attracting so many recent users so quickly led to occasional technical issues.
