Should also be noted that Xwitter has ~15 years leg up on the rest. A lot of user base and brand equity to catch up to.

Curious to see which of Threads/Bluesky will become the clear #2. Nothing wrong with competition.

It also has to be said that X is absolutely overrun with bots, in spite of you-know-who's promise to get rid of them. I was getting ~5 new follows a day from them.

CF and IE all you need. X always going to be there seems like too much work to me to start over for pretty much the same thing. People don't post bluesky or threads things here, maybe I'll join once that starts.

CF is a better form of the same thing since it’s actually moderated.

Moderation vs. curation, two sides of the same coin. Don't like social media? Nobody's forcing you to participate. No need to crap on others who have interests or communities outside of ISU.

I dont plan to leave X quite yet, but I will say I hate the recent changes to it, particularly the excessive amount of ads that I can no longer block like I used to be able to. And now those ads take up almost the entire screen, and are annoying/inappropriate content.
