# Bluesky Decentralized microblogging platform incubated inside Twitter under [[Jack Dorsey]] (2019), spun out independently before the Musk takeover. Became the primary destination for the post-2024-election exodus of left-leaning users from X — 1M new members in election week, userbase doubled in two months by end of November 2024. Functions in the KB as the structural counterweight to X's rightward capture; Dorsey later left its board.
