Over a million people joined Bluesky after the election and seem to be using it. Also a lot of news & media companies have moved over too. So I would assume that at least that many users have disappeared from X or their activity has diminished. On top of that all the bots have gone home now the election is over so the amount of activity must have suffered. And Bluesky is basically old Twitter so people are settling into it and liking it.

I would advise anyone who still using X to give it a try. And if they want to use X for whatever reason - uninstall the app, install Control Panel for Twitter into their mobile browser and browse that for a relatively bullshit free experience - no ads, no algorithmic lists, just what you subscribe to.

All of the numbers are fake anyway. You can just sit there and f5 the page to get views on your own tweet lmao

musk copies feature from zuckerberg backed competitor, threads.

Wasn't adding engagement numbers to each tweet one of the first things he added? I remember thinking "who the fuck wants to see that?" But I guess to people like him that was important at the time? Huh.

I never really understood twitter. Feels to me like it's all about following personalities in a poor format that doesn't cater to discussion. I've had an account since early, mostly for testing twitter integrations for work. I haven't even bothered to log in for a couple of years.

I logged in yesterday just to deactivate my account.

Elon Musk before: "Oh, these old Twitter executives were so dumb. When number go up, you've gotta show it everywhere!"

Elon Musk now: "Number not go up? For cripes sake, don't show it!"

LOL... is he hiding cause of an exodus, or because of the bot farm he ran for the elections?

don't look guys! I totally did not piss my pants!
