Following the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, a significant shift is happening in the social media landscape.
Many users, including Taylor Swift's fanbase, the Swifties, have begun leaving Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, for Bluesky, a rising social media platform.
In just a few days, Bluesky's user base surged from 14 million to 20 million, growing by a million new users each day.
This sudden influx follows dissatisfaction with Musk's social media platform, especially after the changes he introduced following the acquisition of Twitter, and now the 2024 election outcome.
Why Bluesky?
Bluesky offers a refreshing alternative to X and Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) Threads.
Unlike Threads, which has minimized political content, Bluesky allows for more personalized, open conversations. Its open-source model, based on the AT Protocol, aims to empower users with greater control over their content and moderation.
With features like user-curated starter packs and decentralized governance, Bluesky has become a top choice for former X users looking for a platform that prioritizes user experience over corporate control.
Getting Started With Bluesky: The Starter Packs
If you're new to Bluesky, building your feed from scratch can be overwhelming. Thankfully, Bluesky's starter packs make this process easier.

With over 86,000 starter packs available, you can browse them through the directory and search by keywords. Click here to access the directory.

在2024年美国总统选举之后，社交媒体格局正在发生重大变化。
许多用户，包括泰勒·斯威夫特的粉丝群体“Swifties”，已经开始从埃隆·马斯克的X（前身为Twitter）转移到Bluesky，一家新兴的社交媒体平台。
仅仅几天内，Bluesky 的用户数从1400万激增至2000万，每天增加一百万新用户。
这种突然涌入的潮流是对马斯克的社交媒体平台的不满所致，尤其是在他收购Twitter并现在2024年选举结果之后推行的改变。
