Bluesky adds 700,000 new members as users flee X after the US election

Because many governmental entities spent years setting up communications policies and protocols that utilized the original Twitter BEFORE Musk bought it and it will take awhile for those entities to test, develop new policies, get support licenses for, and then deploy a different social media tool.

And as for other individuals like elected officials, celebrities, etc., some have dabbled in a variety of other similar apps like Mastodon or Threads, but those don't currently have an embed function programmed on DU (at least yet).

So it may take time for the move to alternates (and in the case of Blue Sky, it was still pretty much in testing the past year or so).

And as a disclaimer - I have no account on any of them but if I can "read" them via a webpage, then I might link to them if they add further context to an article posted.
