Recently, Bluesky gained over a million new users, bringing the total to over 12M, with DAU hitting an ATH of over 1.5M. This growth likely followed the surge after 𝕏 was banned in Brazil and two key changes on Twitter: allowing blocked users to view posts from public accounts and permitting third-party AI developers to use private user data.

If users are unhappy with these changes, they would typically seek alternatives at the client level. However, since Twitter isn't an open, decentralized protocol, there are no alt-clients, prompting users to turn to perceived decentralized platforms. This shows that the narrative of decentralized platforms providing more control and autonomy still resonates, attracting those seeking greater freedom of speech and privacy protection.

When might those leaving Twitter consider joining Farcaster?

I thought the same thing when reading about this, sadly it will be a long time.

Join the movement, create a better everything, all we need to do is keep building. seemore.tv/free/fc/justbuild /justbuild /talkstory 

While many things are unpredictable, the number of builders here brings some confidence. FC’s growth this year has already been a pleasant surprise compared to last year. 😂
