How did the X-Alternative manage to gain so many new users (most recently up to a million a day) in such a short time? On the one hand, the platform impresses with the inclusion of new features, including the integration of videos, direct messages and simple website embeddings. On the other hand, Bluesky – just like Threads – benefits enormously from the fact that many users and famous personalities turn their backs on X.

The first fun fact shared by Graber provides the answer to a question that many users may have already asked themselves: Why is Bluesky actually called Bluesky? The CEO explains that the name Bluesky was originally just a placeholder for a project started by Twitter, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the platform. Purely by chance, the name was a good fit – because her own native first name, Lantian, translates as blue sky.
1. The name Bluesky was originally a placeholder for the project started by Twitter to build an open social protocol.
Purely by coincidence, my mother gave me the name Lantian, which translates to “blue sky.”
Another fact that might come as a surprise: Currently only 20 full-time employees work at Bluesky. This means that the platform has a significantly smaller workforce than the competition. Although Elon Musk announced shortly after taking over X (then Twitter) that he wanted to lay off more than half of the workforce, the platform still had far more employees than Bluesky at that point.

The CEO also shares which countries most Bluesky users come from: These include the USA, Japan and Brazil. The platform also owes the high number of users in Brazil to a temporary X-ban there.
10. The three largest countries on Bluesky are the United States, Japan, and Brazil, and these countries were early adopters since our invite-only days as well. Thank you for being here!
