The recent influx of users exposed a technical glitch known as the “hellthread,” causing long threads with lots of replies to break in the app’s main feed while users continued to receive notifications for new replies. Despite the glitch, Bluesky’s popularity continues to grow, with notable Twitter users like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, James Gunn, Chrissy Teigen, and Rian Johnson joining the platform. Bluesky has also welcomed Black and transgender voices, sex workers, and shitposters, making it a diverse and inclusive space.
