The increase in Bluesky's user base is largely attributed to the shift in X's policies and perceived political bias under Elon Musk's leadership, which has driven users, especially those with left-leaning political views, towards platforms offering a more trustworthy and user-centric experience. X's policy changes, including alterations to content moderation and the use of user data for AI training, have fuelled concerns about user safety and privacy. Moreover, Musk's vocal support for Donald Trump and the platform's perceived leniency towards right-wing content have further alienated left-leaning users, prompting them to seek alternatives like Bluesky, which has gained a reputation for its stricter moderation standards, commitment to a harassment-free environment, and transparency in handling user data.
