Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Bluesky recorded its highest usage of the year on U.S. midterm election night, with CEO Toni Schneider saying posts and likes doubled during Tuesday's voting. The surge marks a notable engagement milestone for the decentralized social platform as it competes with established networks for attention during major news events. The company did not disclose absolute user or revenue figures alongside the growth rate. What to watch next is whether Bluesky can convert this event-driven spike into sustained daily engagement rather than a one-night bump.
