Don't go to BlueSky !!! They're not better than X. They obey to the same leaders... MONEY, GREED, AND POWER. A few weeks ago they restricted 72 Turkish protesters the access to their BlueSky accounts on simple request of the Turkish Government. So, BlueSky cannot be trusted they will secure the accounts of their customers. If Trump would ask BlueSky to block all accounts of members who are against him, they'll do it right away.
The right-wing billionaire’s platform has recently lost about 10 percent of its European user base.
It's a good start but we gotta pump those numbers up.
remember 80% of instagram is bots according to a study reported by german media.
so X id even say it could be more giving the vast hatred increase and content change over the last years. so basically they lost 90%
EDIT/additional bit: funk's german post referenced this Imperva Bad Bot Report 2024
The rest are bots and Russian troll farms.
Let me guess, they're moving to Bluesky?
I tried moving to Mastadon first a few years ago and it was a pretty shit experience, Bluesky however has stuck in my app rotation pretty well.
General advice regarding open source: even if you tried something out years ago and didn't like it, it may be well worth giving it another shot. Open source projects often need some time to mature and take their time to improve, but only get better over time.
Or meta because its better? Like getting run over by a small car instead of a bus.
Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset "chase that bag" crap.
I'm.on Lemmy and mastodon. Anything else is pure sarcasm. I sarcastically browse for TV's on Amazon. But will I buy? No. All have spyware on them, so no. I wouldn't touch meta with a 300ft pole.
Threads sucks compared to bsky don't know what you're talking about there. Bluesky has way more features and posting quality.
It's not just X; American social media has been gradually turning into such a shit show for the last 10 years: censorship, misinformation, consensus manufacture and creeping enshitification. I jumped ship to the fediverse and never looked back!
What's the quality like of the people who are still on Twitter in 2025? Does the fediverse want them? (These are real questions, I have no idea if there's still any decent people on Twitter.)
Every massive influx from Twitter has brought a deluge of people I want nothing to do with in any way shape or form, and a small sprinkling of cool ones. Fortunately like 4/5ths of the crappy ones leave again, but that other 1/5th is a big number when you're talking an influx of hundreds of thousands.
ik some good people that are still there because some of their friends are.
There likely are (I quit Twitter over a year ago), just because it does unique coverage on many topics.
It is humanities responsibility to make the rest of this man’s life miserable
I mean, Mastodon is German, so they're probably moving here. The federated fork of Dorsey's Twitter is second.
BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.
"federated"
There is always that one comment saying "b-but its technically kinda federated". It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% if all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.
Small chances for now, but let's keep growing small communities here. People need to get tired of Instagram and centralized algorithms to switch to fediverse
I try to convince people to do “+1”. Like, keep X/insta/reddit or whatever, but every time you feel you have something to post, do the same at mastodon/pixelfed/lemmy. Those platforms are nothing without the network effects, and the network effects will diminish the more people do this.
I'd love it if the fediverse could have its own algoithms as long as theyre open sourced and made ethically, like they shouldn't mess with peoples mental health or cause social media addictions
Yes. People don't realize algorithms are one of the main reasons decentralized sited haven't taken off. Most people don't want to spend time looking for their content, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes and look at pretty art
