Sick of X and Elon Musk? This App Might Be for You.

Bluesky has been the boat for left-leaning Twitter refugees who were so fed up with Elon Musk that they beat the masses in deciding not to stick around on his platform.

The decentralized social network has added at least 1 million users in about the past seven days .

While X has spiraled deeper into a racist fever dream and Threads has kept building its sunshine-pumping text app for influencers.

Bluesky does not trap users in nonchronological feeds and gives people only what they ask for, and it does so in real time.

It turns out that when a lot of people join the fray, that creates a feeling of controlled chaos that resembles what Twitter felt like to some of its earlier addicts around, say, 2014 or 2015 .

Bluesky is winning a segment of the internet not because it is ideological but because it's customizable.
