Over the past few months, traffic to the site formerly known as Twitter has taken a nosedive as competitors like Bluesky and Threads continue to bring in more and more users.

According to the traffic-estimating service Similarweb, visits to the Elon Musk-owned social network now known as X have plummeted over the past three months.

    I tried to dig into Masto and I like it, but none of the journos I want to see live updates from are on it. Which is fine for just regular scrolling but for something like the unfolding Luigi Mangione story I wanted up to date information and I didn’t have to slum it on Twitter to get it. Bluesky works for that.

    For normal scrolling Bluesky kinda blows. It’s just millions of brunchlibs screaming into the void with memes they find on Facebook. It’s not that interesting. Still better than Twitter, but not as good as Mastodon.
