I keep making the incorrect assumption that everyone has already left X. Just seems common sense we've hit all hands abandon ship

I still use it. For that which I engage, or who I engage with, it hasn't changed for me. Almost 100% for metal bands. Tours, album releases. We have a pretty cool metal community going. People I've been speaking with for many years now.

Leaving a platform you don't like, or the reasons you don't like it, isn't "common sense".

I'm happy you've found a place to talk with people. I hope that space doesn't get invaded by assholes

Never underestimate the network effect and how reluctant people are to move to another social network. The masses just follow the crowd, so every big account moving out from there helps take more users away.

It's a shame I haven't seen more YouTubers leaving X, they all seem to use it to talk about whatever they do. Not that I watch a lot of YouTube these days but my family does, younger ones especially watch those minecraft SMP types. Its arguably the most toxic social media but "everyone's on there".

I liked this article about the whole ordeal so I'll share it here: Why You'll Leave X as well as instagram and all other private platforms

Nicely concise description of bubble-dwelling.

There are lots of brands and people still on X and try to justify it with hand waving.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
