It has rocketed to the top of Apple\u2019s and Google\u2019s app stores as the most downloaded free app. Its ascent has been so rapid that the company has been forced to grow up practically overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bluesky\u2019s 20 full-time employees have been working around the clock to deal with the issues that come with hyper-growth: site outages, glitches in the code and content moderation issues. Most importantly, they have been trying to keep early users happy as new members have flooded in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe as a team take pride in our ability to scale quickly,\u201d Jay Graber, 33, the chief executive of Bluesky, said in an interview. \u201cBut there\u2019s always some growing pains.\u201d She added that the app \u2014 which is still dwarfed by Facebook, Instagram and X \u2014 was adding more than one million new users a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bluesky is surging amid upheaval in the social media world. After Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/07\/24\/technology\/twitter-x-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">morphed it into X<\/a>, changing many of its functions and alienating some of its most loyal users. Threads, an app similar to X that Meta introduced last year, relies mostly on an opaque algorithmic curation that reduces politics from people\u2019s feeds. That has caused some people to head to other networks, including Bluesky, to discuss hot-button social issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/17\/technology\/bluesky-growing-pains.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February 2023, a half-dozen techies introduced a social network prototype in an invitation-only launch.
