In the past three weeks alone, 35 million people have joined Meta's Threads and 20 million people have flocked to BlueSky. In September, a Brazilian judge banned the country's users from using X, and since then, a large number of new users have flooded into BlueSky, with over one million Brazilians also joining in; In October, X owner Elon Musk stated that X posts could be used to train Grok AI, and since then, BlueSky's user base has surged again.
