The American social network "Blue Sky", which considers itself an alternative to "X", announced on Friday that one million new users joined it in one day, while many others left the platform owned by Elon Musk.
"Blue Sky" explained in a post on it and on "X" at the same time that "one million people joined +Blue Sky+ in the last day!", describing this information as "official". It added "Welcome and thank you for being here".
The disclosure of this record came days after the announcement on Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump had appointed Musk, who has owned "X" since October 2022, to head a new committee for "government efficiency".
The billionaire who heads the companies "Tesla" and "Space X" officially supported the Republican candidate in his race for the White House, and provided funding for his campaign.
Since Musk took over "Twitter", he has significantly eased the platform's moderation rules, and one of his most prominent decisions was to allow the reinstatement of accounts linked to far-right movements on the network.
The British newspaper The Guardian and the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia announced this week that they would stop publishing their articles on the X network.
The Blue Sky network, which was founded and funded by Twitter itself when its co-founder Jack Dorsey led it, became available to the general public in February 2023 through Apple's iOS operating system, and at the end of March on Android.
It is currently headed by Jay Graber, the platform's general manager.
The network claims that its number of subscribers has increased from 10 million in mid-September to 16 million, after it was thrust into the spotlight at the end of 2022 when Elon Musk acquired Twitter and renamed it X.
Threads, another alternative to X and owned by Meta Group (Facebook and Instagram), announced in July, a year after its creation, that its number of users had reached 175 million.
