Why are people leaving X?

[d3ogmerek]

are they? people say they leaving but they come back; alternatives are no better. Even Guillmero Del Toro started posting again.

I think you just answered your own question. Place full of violence and extreme hate speech. It’s also Elon Musk’s big microphone. 🎤

I feel like media and other users stay just for the habit and the communities they’ve already built but it will die, eventually, if it keeps going down this road.

Facebook is the same. Surprisingly, Reddit is the least toxic of all atp

Man people announced that they will leave and actually did. But if you ask naval ravikant he’s sure that this is just temporary due to the effects of networks. He made a post about this on x a couple of years ago

Not sure what stats your looking at because by all the analytics software I’ve checked traffic has been exploding. Not defending the platform but I’m confused where you’re getting this idea of majority of users leaving?

I left Twitter shortly before the leathery skinned fascist psychopath bought it. Haven’t looked back and I’m much less stressed.

*”Why are so many people leaving X/Twitter?”*

ah yes. x… the hate filled nazi loving social media platform run by a drug fueled billionaire who is also a nazi. isn’t life hard enough without reading his bs?

[Peace-and-Pistons]

Same reason people have stopped buying Tesla, Musks insanity and political views have somehow managed to alienate people from the left right and the middle and they don’t want anything to do with any business linked to him.

Honestly, most people left before you joined. You’ve never experienced Twitter as it used to be, it’s just a shell of its former self these days.

[ElBee_1970]

I used to go on it daily but since I’ve started interacting on here I hardly ever go on it now

[Artistic-Ad-3719]

Yeah ive never opned an account on twiter like never, they dont have my data, and know with elon musk there hell nah .

[GirlGodd]

Every normie or well adjusted person I know has stopped using x or rarely uses it. So I feel like a loser when I tweet now. So I stopped posting as much too

[footinmymouth]

A. Endless bots – controversial MAGA shitpostera get impossibly boosted with LLM based reply bots. There is nearly no chance for your posts to get ANY interaction UNLESS you are replying to something otherwise. So the. Your fees gets bumped up with bullshit from Maga bootlicks.

B. The BEST part of Twitter USED to be the hastag system, you could see what was happening in the world really fast – now it is just and endless list off bullshit takes

[kandirocks]

All of the reasons you listed, plus all of the fake news and the only ads on there being for mining corps or crypto coins…. just doesn’t give “credible and respectable platform” y’know? I feel like I’m going to catch fleas every time I click a Twitter link.

Twitter used to be so funny. Half of the fun was the comment section. Now that verified accounts get shoved to the top and get paid for interactions it’s all generated ai slop, hate speech, and nothing funny anymore :/
