Blue Sky's explosive growth can be attributed to a phenomenon where users are abandoning X in search of a more hospitable online environment. CEO Jay Graber reported an astonishing influx, with approximately one million new users joining each day, leading to the app reaching over 20 million users within a short span.

As Blue Sky surges in popularity, the app has topped Apple’s charts for social networking apps. Graber noted that users are expressing more enjoyment on Blue Sky compared to their experiences on X, fostering an atmosphere where making online friends feels real and attainable again. Critics have pointed out that this leap in user base comes on the heels of increased discontent with X, creating an intriguing narrative surrounding social media alternatives.
