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.

Mastodon isn't a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

From what I can tell from within the Mastodon echo chamber: quote replies and moderation

Also from my experience the users on BlueSky are pretty much a straight swap from Twitter. And by that I mean nobody ever bothers interacting with me at all.

On mastodon if I so much as rip a fart on there, *someone* will engage with it. On BlueSky? Nada.
