It is not surprising that many large leftist social media accounts have recently joined BlueSky-but New evaluation He tries to estimate this alteration from the Slush Research Center.
This is an update Influencer report Published in November 2024, which didn’t include BlueSky in its numbers. The report focused on a relatively small group of 500 influential people, all of whom have over 100,000 observers on at least one large platform and publish recurrently about current events.
In the case of this BlueSky update, he looked at the same influential (versus accounts that would find a large audience only at BlueSky) and saw that in February/March 43% of them had a BlueSky account. Just over half (51%) of those accounts were created after the presidential election in 2024.
There is a large division between the influential on the right and left, with 69% of the left relationship (people who clearly identified as liberals or democrats and expressed support for Kamali Harris or Joe Biden before the presidential election), while only 15% of conservative did the same.
This movement was not necessarily the cost of X (previously Twitter). While the owner’s alliance X Elon Musk and currently President Donald Trump looked as if it would introduce latest users to BlueSky, 82% of influential tracked by Pew still had an X account, just a little from 85% in the summer of 2025.
In other words, even if the leftist dump their fingers at the feet in BlueSky, most of them (87%) didn’t abandon X. Pew clale that the majority of the influential ones proceed to publish recurrently on X than on BlueSky.
However, it appears that evidently BlueSky’s activity is growing – the variety of influential BlueSky, who actually publish 54% in the first week of January to 66% in the last full week of March.
