Bluesky has hit another major milestone, topping some 10 million users as the social media platform continues to pull users from X. Bluesky is the decentralized X-like platform that was backed by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

Following Musk’s purchase of X, the mercurial executive began slashing the security and moderation teams, leading to widespread criticism and accusations that hate speech began flourishing on the platform. In late 2022, US senators expressed concern to the FTC, saying that Musk “has taken alarming steps that have undermined the integrity and safety of the platform, and announced new features despite clear warnings those changes would be abused for fraud, scams and dangerous impersonation.” According to TechRadar , X appears to be on a hiring spree, undoing some of the layoffs that have happened over the past two years.
