Summary
Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is experiencing a sharp decline in users and value.
Post-election backlash, misinformation, and toxic content have accelerated user departures, with alternatives like Bluesky gaining traction.
While X saw a temporary spike in traffic on election day, its U.S. daily active users fell 8.4% in October.
Analysts project X will lose 7 million monthly users in the U.S. by 2025. Additionally, X’s brand value has plummeted from $5.7 billion to $673 million since Musk’s 2022 takeover, with revenue dropping 40% year-over-year.
X is worse than truth social.
If you’re still on it, I judge you for that. No matter your reason.
If BlueSky gets 100 Million users, I’ll stop using Twitter completely
Eh, I’ll continue enjoying my yiff there. Once most of the artists & content creators I follow move to Bluesky I probably won’t have any reason to stick to Twitter though.
You can play an active role in helping your favorite creators move to Bluesky. Leave a comment on their posts and send DMs urging them to stop using Twitter. Urge other people to do likewise.
I’m quite enjoying the “Early Twitter” vibe on Bluesky these days! Lots of engagement and actual conversations with strangers.
Plus their Nuclear Block option is fantastic for keeping your experience free from toxic people and organizations.
Same here, I really like BlueSky,
Same here, I like BlueSky, I’ll try to use it more
Nothing would make me happier than watching Elon lose everything.
Let’s work together and make it happen for real. I’ve worked on some ideas on what we can do to stop Musk’s radical agenda: https://lemm.ee/post/49991492
Basically get people off of Twitter to cut off the propaganda machine and then boycott his products, get advertisers to stop advertising on Twitter and encourage the workers in his companies to strike/quit.
i honestly think we won’t have to try. the musk bubble will pop someday. when it does, it’ll deflate rather quickly.
Bluesky is now generating more out going traffic than X.
My absolute loathing of Elmo as parent of a former toddler has been mitigated since I’ve discovered the appropriateness of this gif.
Edit: I guess my ambivalence about Twitter failing has angered some Twitter users. To whom I say, “see the above gif.”
They need more room for bots
Why then instead of now ?
