Find the value of X. nerd

The number of monthly users of X dropped by 15% in the first year since Musk’s takeover amid concerns over a rise in hate speech on the platform.

It really is slowly dying.

yeah Mastodon seems to be the best one. There's a fair amount of activity there it seems, but it still feels sort of niche, and doesn't seem to have caught on yet as the alternative. I'd use it, but I never really used twitter in the first place so I don't really have any need for Mastodon.

of course it's niche. if it wasn't it would suck. the worst part about the "social media" model of internet culture is how it homogenizes and totalizes. the reason this site rocks so much is because it's comprised of a relatively small handful of mentally unstable commie freaks, with opportunities to interact with slightly different kinds of freaks. i do not want to post on a site where the hamburger helper mascot can insinuate itself into the conversation.

I miss niche phpBB forums

Right but a lot of people do, and still enjoy the Twitter model. Nothing has really caught on yet as a replacement. Mastodon was being floated for a while but hasn’t really caught on en masse.
