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.

Also a bunch of hinky weirdness and slowness.

The Technology Connections guy (Alec) threw some shade on Mastodon yesterday that seemed like a good example:

My favorite thing about Bluesky is that I haven't gotten a stream of notifications that I've been tagged in a post on a weird fork of the software which my client doesn't parse correctly so I only see one side of a conversation.

I thought his name was Alec, not Alex.

It is. Autocorrect and bad proofreading. Thanks, fixed.
