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?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

We don't know how many of those are bots.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 62 points 4 hours ago

Good. Fuck X, and fuck Musk.

plz no this weirdo has 1 too many kids. looks like a bloated turkey

[-] hoot@lemmy.ca 52 points 4 hours ago

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.

Eh idk, Elon boosting right-wing content doesn't mean that nobody was seeing people's anti-Trump posts on there, much less that they did any harm.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

They think that the problem is Musk, because he's the proximate cause. You can't expect people who are uneducated about this stuff to make a systemic analysis, research decentralized alternatives, and then decide to go to Mastodon or whatever.

If they were that educated on the issue, they would've left X a long time ago.

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 😁

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

He's going to acquire truth social and merge it in. I would put doge coin on it, but not actual money

[-] errer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I agree with you but it might go the other way around, Truth buying X instead…

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 52 minutes ago

I thought that for a minute too but I figured the way where trump gets paid is more likely
