Musk’s platform has lost 2.7 million active US users in two months, while its rival has gained 2.5 million“There’s a lot of content being amplified that most reasonable people would question whether is worth amplifying”, he said, referring to Musk recently questioning the sentence given to the jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson. “Tommy Robinson is not some benign debater. He’s someone who wants to weaponise racist narratives and racist rhetoric. Let him have his space, I just don’t want to be there.”
Bluesky wakes up to impersonation nightmare with strict rules
Zuckerberg Seems Genuinely Alarmed by the Explosive Growth of Bluesky
Threads, X-formerly-Twitter: beware.Bluesky has apparently become such a successful X-formerly-Twitter alternative that even Zuckerberg is anxiously taking notice. At this rate, the social site could potentially outpace Threads - and Meta clearly isn't happy.
The impersonation woes of Bluesky were first highlighted by security researcher Alexios Mantzarlis, who wrote in his newsletter that nearly half of the 100 most popular accounts on the platform had at least one fake account trying to leech off their identity.On the positive side, the company recently cleared that it won’t lift user content for AI training, further adding that it has no intention of doing so in the near future.

Some of their disagreements stem from serious business matters, such as a failed collaboration in 2016 when a SpaceX rocket exploding while carrying a Facebook satellite.
