Better late than never. But I'm pretty tired of all these people posting about how they're leaving X now.
Thanks for supporting him and all the lies and insane demagogy up until the election. If you didn't have an account on Truth Social, why did you still have one on X after he revealed himself so long ago?
-
I think a lot of people were sticking around to follow election news and try to effect the conversation, and are bailing now that it's over in hopes of building up bluesky by the next one.
-
and try to effect the conversation,
And these people are insane. Elon has total control over the narrative, and the people that believe they can "throw sand in the gears" with some quippy xeets are delusional.
At least they're moving, but fucking Christ; far too many people have main character syndrome.

And then wait for the next right-wing psychopath to buy up that one? You can't jump off Twitter to another privately held platform and not expect the same to happen there sooner or later.

People are going to go where the people are. There's a critical mass that has to happen for there to be enough impetus to cause a major shift. And this goes doubly so for people like artists who depend on being seen by people in order to put food on the table. I've seen tons of artists asking since Musk originally bought Twitter about where the hell they can go, because they're chained to the popular social media platforms.

I wish they would cite numbers proving this. Usage on another platform does not necessarily indicate an exodus. Bluesky may have seen a jump in users by a million but that only puts it up to 17 million users which is not much compared to Twitter's 250 million daily users.
-
Alleged daily users, right?
-
We don't know how many of those are bots.
-
Correct. But the same goes for Bluesky.
-

Twitter didn't get to 250m users overnight. Give it some time.
-
I think 17M is enough for critical mass. It'll snowball now, it's probably a lot more than Mastodon has seen.

I think only "true patriots" will stay in the end. Generic maga scum, tRump & other assholes. He can get money from advertisements for tRump bible, tRump coin, tRump sneakers, tRumps diapers (hopefully not his personal). Wait... tRump will never pay the invoices! .... as is the usual case with musk 😁

Twitter: looks like the reich guy won!
