Twitter imposed rate limits amid 'extreme levels' of data scraping per CEO Elon Musk, which prompted an influx of users to Bluesky, a rival social media firm backed by Jack Dorsey.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk's restrictions on users' tweet viewing prompted a surge of traffic to Bluesky, a social media platform backed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Bluesky said Saturday that the influx of visitors caused "some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic." That instability prompted theplatform to temporarily pause sign-ups to address those issues on Saturday, though it resumed sign-ups late Sunday. As of the end of April, Bluesky’s website stated that the platform had more than 50,000 users. Aside from users requesting to sign up via a waitlist, Bluesky says on its website that it periodically distributes invitations for existing users to distribute to other participants. Depending on the quality of invitees converted into users, the platform gives certain users more invites.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk blamed AI companies for scraping the platform's data and prompting the usage restrictions.artificial intelligence "Almost every company doing AI, from startups to some of the biggest corporations on Earth, was scraping vast amounts of data. It is rather galling to have to bring large numbers of servers online on an emergency basis just to facilitate some AI startup’s outrageous valuation," Musk said in a tweet.
