Bluesky Gains 1 Million New Users in Brazil
Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform co-founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, has experienced a surge of new users in Brazil. Within just three days, the platform welcomed a staggering 1 million new users, making it a Brazilian favorite after a court-ordered suspension of Twitter in the country.
Here are some key points regarding Bluesky’s recent success in Brazil:
– The rapid influx of Brazilian users has been well received by Bluesky.
– The platform acknowledged the new users in a highly liked post welcoming them to the app.
– Bluesky faced technical issues due to the sudden surge, with a 20x increase in server load reported by a backend engineer.
– The platform now boasts nearly 7.8 million registered users.
– Bluesky’s functionality closely resembles that of Twitter, allowing users to post text updates, share photos, and repost content.
Supreme Court Upholds X Ban in Brazil
The Supreme Court of Brazil has unanimously upheld the ban on Twitter in the country based on the platform’s failure to comply with judicial orders and appoint a legal representative within the country. This decision effectively shut down Twitter in its sixth-largest global market, which had 21.5 million users.
Here are some key takeaways from the Supreme Court’s decision:
– Users trying to circumvent the Twitter ban via VPNs will face steep penalties, including daily fines and potential criminal charges.
– Twitter’s corporate value has plummeted 72% since Elon Musk’s takeover, leading to financial losses for investors and partners.
– The financial implications of Twitter’s decline have been significant, affecting Musk’s personal wealth and those involved in the $44 billion purchase.
– In contrast, Bluesky is rapidly adapting to its new audience in Brazil, providing localized content and tutorials for users.
