X, formerly known as Twitter, can now claim the dubious achievement of “worst-performing platform for online disinformation,” and its users continue to flock to other social media sites to avoid its toxic content.
X users have primarily fled to Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky.
X doesn't formally report monthly active user (MAU) stats, but estimates put X's MAU losses at close to -4% during 2023 and between -30 and -50 million MAUs since Musk bought it.
X Premium (previously Twitter Blue) Service has about 830,000 paid subscribers, far short of Musk's earlier predictions of 69 million subscribers by 2025.
Media researchers concluded X has become a breeding ground for overtly racist and antisemitic discourse, propaganda, and misinformation - including Musk's own posts - fueled by monetization/revenue sharing with extremist accounts.
X's ad revenue has declined at least -55% year-over-year each month since Musk took over.
To help determine which social media platforms X users were likely migrating to, researchers scoured the bios of active X users. During Q3, Mastodon was by far the the most mentioned – about three times as often as Bluesky, Post.news, or Threads.
While Meta's Threads has captured the bulk of X migrants, open-source Mastodon has scooped up a respectable share. Mastodon now registers about 1.5 million new users per month. Mastodon has about 1.5 million MAUs and a total of 10.7 million registered users.
Jack Dorsey's Bluesky now has over 1 million registered users while it remains in beta as an invite-only platform.
After Musk dramatically increased the price of X's API access, third-party developers have shifted their attention to open-source protocols such as ActivityPub that powers Mastodon and the AT Protocol that powers Bluesky.
Musk aims to build X into an “Everything App,” such as WeChat in China, but all signs point to a rough road to getting there, if not a dead end.

#Twitter has always been known as the 180 Character Spamming site Worldwide since the beginning of time.
Marketing platform only to spam. Never considered a viable social network site. That's a #lie.
It tried to compete with #LinkedIn which we were on for 12 years prior until CENSORED.
Microsoft got lots of BLOOD ON HANDS TOO BTW.
Twitter copied LinkedIn..
Same Same >> Massive Groups of Fortune 500 companies (all traffic 80% bots less than 20% real users) spamming PROPAGANDA TO CONTROL THEIR AGENDA..
TWITTER WAS ALWAYS inundated with fortune 500 SPAM bots which equates to massive EXCLUSION for anyone else.
Twitter was DEAD DEAD in 2015.
Only reason it survived was bc loser chump decided to tweet on it otherwise TWITTER would have been OVER! back then
..but somehow managed to pull off a 44 #billion dollar #HEIST when all that data was already #SOLD #NON_EXCLUSIVELY;)
