Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.

The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.

Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

So you agree with me. To succeed, a product shouldn't require a guide or a friend's help to install and configure it. I work in IT, yet I don't see people around me bothering with all that. Now think of your relatives, friends, people you see every day on the street or in a mall - they couldn't care less.

Well, entering Mastodon in the search bar of a search engine today shows that it's even easier than it was during the big Twitter exodus. The first link is mastodon.social. Clicking that lands you on a page where Create an account is highlighted in blue. From there, it's the standard signup process everyone is used to.

Edit: Rewrote the comment to focus on the actual flow today rather than anything speculative.
