X is banned in Brazil following an order from a Supreme Court justice, and Brazilian users seem to be turning to Bluesky instead.
X is currently banned in Brazil following an order from a Supreme Court justice, and Brazilian users seem to be turning to Bluesky, an alternate social network, in droves. “Brazil, you’re setting new all-time-highs for activity on Bluesky!” the official Bluesky account says in a post. “There will almost certainly be some outages and performance issues,” Bluesky developer Paul Frazee says. “We’ve never seen traffic like this.
Hang with us!” The Bluesky app looks and functions a lot like X, but it’s a decentralized social media platform that’s built on the AT Protocol . In a 5:12PM ET post, Frazee says that Bluesky is seeing 1,000 events per second — a “new milestone” — on its “relay,” which essentially functions as the firehose of data for the platform. Mastodon and Meta didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment about whether they’re seeing increased usage as well.
