The shift in culture and content on social media X (formerly Twitter) is causing millions of users to migrate to the new platform Bluesky.
Since Elon Musk took over X, this social network has witnessed a significant change in culture and content. This has caused dissatisfaction among users as there are increasing concerns about misinformation, hate speech, and political bias.
Under Musk's ownership, X has been criticized for becoming a tool of political propaganda, especially during Donald Trump's re-election campaign. This raises doubts about the political neutrality commitment that Musk had previously made, such as his statement in 2022: 'For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral.'
Many experts even compare X to 'premium Truth Social,' referring to Trump's far-right social media platform. Rumors about the possibility of X merging with Truth Social have further frustrated users, leading them to seek alternative platforms.
Bluesky, a decentralized social network developed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is becoming the destination for those leaving X. With over 16 million users, Bluesky allows users to customize their experience through curated algorithms and specialized content feeds.
One of the standout features of Bluesky is the custom domain system, providing high authenticity for journalists and public figures. Additionally, the decentralized approach makes users feel safer, especially when not controlled by large corporations.
With the largest exodus ever, the future of X faces many mixed predictions. Some experts believe that the platform could completely collapse if it does not reform. Meanwhile, others suggest that Musk may change his strategy if his relationship with Trump deteriorates.
There are also concerns that X could become a testing ground for Musk's AI initiatives, posing risks to privacy and data exploitation. This raises significant questions about Musk's true intentions in owning this platform.
