Social media users are exploring new digital spaces and reshaping Brazil’s online landscape after Elon Musk's X was banned in the South American country.Millions of Brazilians, including the president, have flocked to social media platforms such as Threads or Bluesky, since Elon Musk's X was shut down in the country.
The Supreme Court judge took the measure after Musk, who calls himself a"free-speech absolutist," ignored a series of court decisions. "I feel like I've entered a more welcoming and less aggressive community, even if I miss the sincerity that was on X," said Leon Leal, a student who has turned to Threads after a decade on the former Twitter.
"Bluesky has the advantage of having the same language and references as Twitter. However, it is a pity it doesn't have a 'Trending Topics' section and that you can't publish videos," he said.Given the uncertainty over the fate of X, it is unclear whether the migration will have a lasting effect on the social networking landscape in Brazil, an ultra-connected country with more smartphones than inhabitants.
