Founder and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s new platform, Bluesky, picked up steam as some Twitter users look for alternative options amid Elon Musk’s recent takeover.

The beta-mode app has reportedly registered 30,000 signups on its waiting list. “Wow. 30k signups for our app’s waiting list in the last two days! Thanks for the overwhelming interest, we’ll do our best to get you in soon,” said Bluesky in an Oct. 20 tweet, adding that invites will be rolled out “in stages, making sure the protocol scales and taking user feedback as we go.” Bluesky has not officially announced a launch date.
