Surge in Popularity

In the week following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, 2.25 million users signed up for Bluesky. The platform was founded by Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter’s cofounders.

Internet Provider Downtime

Bluesky spokesperson Emily Liu told the BBC that one of the platform’s internet providers “had some downtime, apparently because a fiber cable was out. That means it happened outside of our company.”

A status notice from Cogent Communications stated that some customers using its network between Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, had temporarily lost connectivity.

Business Impact

The app, often described as a friendlier alternative to X, had recently become the most downloaded app on the U.S. and UK Apple Stores. Many social media users have been leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, following the U.S. election.
