Ocasio-Cortez first person to hit a million followers on Bluesky [View all]
Ocasio-Cortez first person to hit a million followers on Bluesky (The Hill)Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is the first person to hit a million followers on the social platform Bluesky, according to the platform.
Other than Bluesky’s own account, Ocasio-Cortez’s follower landmark is a first for a user, the platform told The Hill on Monday. Democrats and those on the American left have migrated to Bluesky from the similar social platform X, owned by Trump supporter and tech billionaire Elon Musk, en masse in recent weeks.
The New York Democrat remarked on the exodus in a Tuesday post on Bluesky, saying that those “leaving” X are doing so “because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.”
“It’s not rocket science,” she added.
