Bluesky’s active user base shrinks as focus expands beyond the app
Summary
TechCrunch reports Bluesky's mobile app monthly active users fell 27% YoY in June 2026, with DAU down ~26% in July. The piece argues that Bluesky's decline is offset by its pivot to enabling the AT Proto protocol and new AI-powered tools like Attie, plus private data support, to broaden its use cases beyond the public app.
