14% actually sounds really low in my opinion, given how many people said they’d leave.
- fabian2k 3y agoThe alternatives are only slowly taking shape, and the network effects are pretty strong. So I'm not surprised that it is slow, but my impression is that the efforts to move away are getting more serious. It varies by topic, but in some areas I've seen a lot of people on Bluesky now. A large number of them still use Twitter as well for now, I suspect this could change once it becomes clearer whether Bluesky will work out well enough.
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoI'm on Bluesky, on substack notes and mastodont. The activity is low, the discussions are boring and the communities are homogeneous. It's nothing like when twitter started. The young us started the energy on twitter, and the old us moved out of it. This means the new services have people with the same opinion, less energy and busy life. It makes for a bland experience. I'm pretty sure the current young crowd is on platforms we are not, innovating, creating their culture, and we are just not there to participate, or even witness it.
- Kinrany 3y agoHow do you know the number of people that said they'd leave?
- mrweasel 3y agoMore people claimed that they wanted to leave than actually left. I've heard a ton of people claim that they'd leave, but then they've decided to stick around for DMs and then just never left and now their back using Twitter/X like nothing happened.
