Gross, but expected. I know this goes into the no politics rule, but Elon is trigger happy with lawsuits with people that oppose him, as we saw with him suing people that stopped advertising on twitter (I will never call it X). People have begun moving off using it, but not enough to ignore it altogether sadly, better to get on the Space Karen's good graces now, unless he begs Trump to go after them DeSantis did last year.

Active daily users on Bluesky is still peanuts at least when compared to X.

611 million compared to 16 million...or something like that.

I never even heard of it until the other week when I read some of the Hollywood elite were throwing their typical hissy fits...

Although I am probably not one to talk as I dropped WhatsApp to shift to Telegram. :hilarious:

They've actually done a very good job in purging the bots. When Elon first took over there were crypto and "adult activities" bots that would tag me and as many other users as they could about five times a day. I haven't seen one now for the better part of the year.

The experience on X is a lot more enjoyable than Facebook is, at least for me. I've noticed that Facebook has far less content from my 'friends' than it used to, so I see stuff from random pages and groups that I have little to no interest in. I gather that this is due to both a decline in engagement from the average user, as well as algorithmic changes. Just this morning I saw four posts in a row with the same picture of Imelda Staunton receiving her honors from Prince William. It was nice and all, but once was enough. X, on the other hand, shows me stuff I'm actually interested in and from the people I choose to follow, and in the 'For You' section, it does a great job of mixing in people I follow alongside that which I actually enjoy seeing.

I too dropped X prior to Elon like the previous poster. I have a general hatred of social media as I think it has hurt society more than helped, especially amongst younger people. Also, the scrolling addiction is real. I keep Facebook almost solely for updates from my kids' schools as well as community related stuff.

This.

You can see the BOTS a mile off.

Interesting take, whilst i was travelling in India ... there was a company that was handling social media content for various businesses. They had about 100 cheap mobile phones to keep a different IP address, and there profession would be to just spam the social media with adverts in a way that wasn't obvious - day in day out.

But it was just two guys.

personally, i think he is very awesome! when i went to Kennedy Space Center in Florida, my wife thought it was going to be very cheesy. As it turned out, she loved it so much. I LOVED the movie The Right Stuff, and LOVED the space shuttle program. When I was in high school every week religiously we would have current events day for some dumb class a coach taught and mine was always about the Star Wars System for the US for countering other weapons. And, also while we were there a SpaceX rocket was on the launchpad and they took us right up to the launchpad. I've posted about the way that his rockets land so incredulously back on the launch pad after immediate take off! So incredibly amazingly awesome!!!!!
