Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

Yep, I saw them coming in. Works well enough for me... Brazilians make the best Sega Genesis games!

Genuine question, is Bluesky worth using in its current state? Can it hold a candle to pre-Musk Twitter?

I'm asking because I feel incredibly burned by the barebones state of Threads and I don't really want to commit to another platform that doesn't have its shit together. Threads still doesn't have trending topics and functional hashtags over a year into its launch, and this is is shit that Mastodon had for years, despite Meta expecting to piggyback off of the ActivityPub protocol and be welcomed into the Fediverse with open arms.

Didn't India just ban Twitter or something?

Edit: It was Brazil.

BJP would never as they’re fascists themselves.
