I joined before the election to hear what the other side felt. I found that they were impossible to converse with and I have begun to leave. Blue Sky is now #1 in the iOS App Store so I believe that the chart is correct. Good riddance Elmo!
I dumped Twitter the minute I read that Elmo's deal went through. No regrets. I'm just surprised so many popular news orgs and cultural "icons" have lingered. They need to exit from the dark side and give BlueSky a try. Geesh.
I am glad to see @number10cat.bsky.social on BlueSky.
I keep reading reports in the press about Downing Street preparations for Larry's imminent passing. 😢
How many Prime Minister & Cabinet Ministers did Larry outlive!!? 😎🐱 More than 9 lives.
Could also be applied to most of the British newspapers and media columnists!
Rupert Murdoch + MySpace = Tanked; Elon Musk + Twitter = Tanked; Donald Trump + Truth Social = Tanked in value.
The conservative movement looked at media as psyops. They began small, then got mid-size testing out varying ways to package ugly messages. Why ? People SEEK out reporting on fears - so they know what to avoid. As owner/editors conservatives could advance crazier stuff. It was good for $$ & politics
Network effect is very powerful, people really don't WANT to leave a place they have connections in. They just HAVE to because the local watering hole has become a Nazi bar.
So shrinking your user base by letting right wing randos and 4Chan conspiracies run untrammeled on your social media site turns out to not be a good or profitable business plan? Who knew!
It was due to the riots this year. Having to see actual literal British Nazis' comments on every post about the riots, it turned me off twitter for good. I've been on twitter since 2007 but that lost me forever. Why would I want to share a space with those people?
The 🐦is on life support with Musk.When more advertisers bail, as they don't want the extremist views on display to be associated with there brands,I think it will be sold or sunk 🛶
Keep in mind, this also indicates that there aren't enough new accounts being created to make up for the attrition rate. I bet if you culled the bot accounts, the line would be even steeper.
Yeah but they still get tons of press and attention. Except now it’s all for Nazi shit and nothing else. Musk is achieving his goal of chasing all non Nazis off so that Twitter can just blast out Nazi propaganda without interruption.
I just stopped using it, it's annoying now. All manner of hostile idiot, boosted by the algorithm. A lot fewer people doing anything creative. Bots designed to farm engagement to profit.

got a new phone and is having issues with the X app, and it’s gotten so bad that it’s just not worth the hassle of sorting that out.
I bet there are a lot of “inertia” accounts that are just waiting for a similar reason to drop
You should see Brazil!!

Glad folks here are wielding the bat.
Starmer a worse genocide-loving zionist?
It's a hate machine
it made my day wherever it came from.
That's freaking FRESH 😅
