Meta's Threads Loses Ground to Bluesky as Users Flock from Elon Musk's X
9 hours ago
Meta’s Threads is losing users to Bluesky after Trump's election. Bluesky's daily users in the US and UK surged by 300% to 3.5 million as academics, journalists, and left-leaning politicians left X. Threads, initially more popular, is now only 1.5 times larger than Bluesky. Meta reduced political content to avoid controversy, while X under Musk allows more freewheeling content. Meta introduced custom feeds to compete with Bluesky.
