Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

    Just like Lemmy, some Mastodon instances have measures in place to try and prevent bots.

      And it’s also a way for topic focused servers to filter out signups as well. There are general purpose instances with open sign ups that don’t do that.

        Yeah, I got into Fosstodon right before they went invite only. And then I moved to a Sharkey instance.
