A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Bluesky has recently experienced outages as its user base surged by 2.5 million in just one week, following the US presidential election results. Many users are migrating from rival platform X, particularly due to dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's policies and management. The outages were attributed to issues with the platform's internet provider. Bluesky's unique decentralized structure allows greater user freedom, appealing to those seeking alternatives amidst growing political concerns surrounding X. Nevertheless, Bluesky's user count remains significantly lower than X's, which has around 250 million daily users.
