UPDATE: Please follow our writers and contributors at our C&L Bluesky Starter Pack. Thanks!
Following the 2024 election, many users have left Elon Musk’s X and the main beneficiary has been the Bluesky social network. For the first time, Bluesky reported that it had surpassed 20 million users.
On paper, this would seem to be a great development for the right wingers on X. The liberals they detest are moving out of the digital neighborhood and their leader has the ear of the incoming president, Donald Trump. All is well, one would think.
Instead, conservatives are whining about the exodus and some, like Joel Berry of the (not very funny) conservative satire site Babylon Bee, are fuming that their attempts to join Bluesky are being met with opposition. Why is this happening?
