Just a quarter? The decline in users gave me some hope, like this article about leaving Twitter/X, but then I read this:
So I joined the rival platform Mastodon, but fast realised that I would never get 70,000 followers on there like I had on Twitter. It wasn’t that I wanted the attention per se, just that my gang wasn’t varied or noisy enough.
So, it’s toxic, but some folks stay for the constant validation from strangers online and engagement . Also, there’s toxicity everywhere - not just on X (or promoted by Musk alone). Oh, and regulation of large groups of people is impossible anyway…
