The Atlantic: “Since Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022 and subsequently turned it into X, disaffected users have talked about leaving once and for all. Maybe they’d post some about how X has gotten worse to use, how it harbors white supremacists, how it pushes right-wing posts into their feed, or how distasteful they find the fact that Musk has cozied up to Donald Trump. Then they’d leave. Or at least some of them did. For the most part, X has held up as the closest thing to a central platform for political and cultural discourse.”
“But that may have changed. After Trump’s election victory, more people appear to have gotten serious about leaving… Many of these users have fled to Bluesky: The Twitter-like microblogging platform has added about 10 million new accounts since October.”
