Public access is going well for Bluesky.

The decentralized Twitter competitor has gained over a million new users since discontinuing its invite-only system on Tuesday, crossing 4 million total users since launching in beta one year ago.

Bluesky said it averaged 8.5 new account signups per second with 2 million posts created within 24 hours of opening access. It’s not quite the splash that Threads made, but impressive nonetheless — but let’s see if it sticks.
