Bluesky: Social media site reports surge in new UK users after Elon Musk's riot comments

Social media platform Bluesky says it has seen a surge in signups in the United Kingdom in recent days.

Since X owner Elon Musk made controversial comments about the riots in the UK, a number of influential figures said they would leave the platform or scale back their use, including home office minister Jess Philips.

Now, Bluesky says it has seen a 60% jump in general activity from accounts in the UK, with several MPs also joining the platform recently.

…

“For 5 out of the last 7 days, the UK had the most Bluesky signups of any country,” said Bluesky in a statement on Monday.

Neither Mastodon or Bluesky ever really clicked with me, although I’ve tried and will continue to use both, but I enjoy using Threads because there’s so much cool non-political content there. My feed is archaeologists or astronomists, historians writers and photographers. It being able to connect up to the Fediverse is cool too.

It being able to connect up to the Fediverse is cool too.

Didn’t a huge majority of the fediverse defederate from Threads?

Streamwave ,

Yeah probably. Most ‘big’ accounts aren’t on Mastodon anyway though, they’re on Threads.

Bluesky is amazing. I switched there from mastodon as the experience just feels better with a cool vibe. And it’s FOSS decentralised just like mastodon.

I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don’t complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter

Edit: before anyone mentions, you can host your own bluesky instance now

Do you have a link to a non blue sky blue sky instance for people to jon?

arudesalad ,

I couldn’t find one in my 10 second search. I think most are made for personal use.

They’ll not learn.

I may be preaching to the converted but his about some Mastodon love as there are plenty of UK instances:

Not sure why there isn’t a London-based Instance called Tooting.
