X is currently banned in Brazil following an order from a Supreme Court justice, and Brazilian users seem to be turning to Bluesky, an alternate social network, in droves.

“Brazil, you’re setting new all-time-highs for activity on Bluesky!” the official Bluesky account says in a post.

“There will almost certainly be some outages and performance issues,” Bluesky developer Paul Frazee says. “We’ve never seen traffic like this. Hang with us!”

The Bluesky app looks and functions a lot like X, but it’s a decentralized social media platform that’s built on the AT Protocol (which is also developed by Bluesky). In a 5:12PM ET post, Frazee says that Bluesky is seeing 1,000 events per second — a “new milestone” — on its “relay,” which essentially functions as the firehose of data for the platform.

Even with a VPN, network providers will still provide info to the government and once they are traced they will be fined somewhere between 8,000 to 9,000.

Thats according to the Brazil Government
