Bluesky&#8217;s user base has doubled in 90 days, reaching 15 million after gaining 1 million new sign-ups in a single week. According to CNN, Musk spent months using X to support President-elect Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Researchers report increased use of sexist language on X, such as &#8220;your body, my choice.&#8221; Additionally, Musk&#8217;s previous changes &#8212; cutting moderators, restoring banned accounts, allowing racist and Nazi accounts, and altering the verification system to boost anyone who was willing to pay regardless of what they posted &#8212; all of which helped to tank the company&#8217;s core ad business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notably, prominent journalists Charlie Warzel, the New York Times&#8217; Mara Gay, and former CNN anchor Don Lemon announced their exit from X this week, joining Bluesky. British news publisher The Guardian announced on Wednesday that it is quitting X, citing concerns over Musk&#8217;s influence during the US election process. In a statement on Wednesday, The Guardian said it will no longer post from any official Guardian accounts on the site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it said that the recent US election underlined its view that X is a &#8220;toxic&#8221; platform and that Musk uses it to influence politics. Musk who campaigned actively for US President-elect Donald Trump has been named as one of two heads of a new &#8220;department of government efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In its message to its readers, The Guardian said, &#8220;We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere. &#8220;The publication said that its journalists will continue to use X as a news-gathering source. X, it said, &#8220;now plays a &#8220;diminished role in promoting our work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles, it said. &#8220;The nature of live news reporting means we will still occasionally embed content from X within our article pages&#8221; it said adding that X users will still be able to share its articles. The Guardian has more than 80 accounts on X with approximately 27 million followers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York &#8211; After the 2024 United States Presidential election that confirmed Donald Trump&#8217;s victory, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) witnessed its largest user exodus since Elon Musk acquired it in 2022, with users migrating to alternatives like Bluesky, CNN reported.
