Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

    I heard Brazil did not ban twitter for good reasons, it can be to block a passage of speech.

      elon musk was asked to point a legal rep and show up to answer questions about spreading fake news and promoting criminal activity. He denied point out the rep or participating in the investigation at all. There is some backlash as the judge gave the final warning on twitter since there was no legal rep, which would be a first.

      ‘speech’ is just what modern king wannabes use to claim they are above anyone else, including a sovereign state’s laws. People like Elon, Trump, Putin all want to be above any law or form of responsibility.
