X faces tough time from new social media rival Bluesky

X formally known as Twitter is facing a new social media rival in Bluesky, which has recently hit a major milestone raising eyebrows.

Bluesky has just surpassed 20 million users just three months after its user base was around 7 million.

The platform’s remarkable growth show that it has secured about 5 million users in under a week, compared to just 15 million users the week before.

The app’s user base has nearly tripled in the last three months, signaling its rising popularity in the competitive social media space.

The increase in users has been notably rapid, with Bluesky registering days where it gained up to one million new users in just 24 hours.

In comparison, Meta’s Threads app has been seeing a similar daily sign-up rate for nearly three months.

According to Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram. Despite the gains, Bluesky still remains significantly smaller than platforms like Threads and X.

Bluesky’s position in the app rankings is further evidence of its popularity.

Not only that, it has dominated the top spots in both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
