Sir Keir Starmer says he won’t join Bluesky, a new social media app. It’s getting popular, especially after the US election. Even though many are leaving X, Sir Keir has no plans to use Bluesky yet. Some politicians like Jeremy Corbyn and Darren Jones are already on Bluesky. Sir Keir thinks it’s important for the government to reach as many people as possible, so they still use X for now.
Bluesky was started by Jack Dorsey from Twitter in 2019. It’s different because it’s decentralized, not controlled by a single company. It has over 19 million users now. Even though Musk helped start Bluesky, he’s not part of it anymore. Users like how Bluesky focuses on shared interests and having fun together.
Some new users joined Bluesky because they don’t want to support Musk, who supported Trump. The Guardian won’t post on X anymore because they worry Musk can influencepolitics there.
