If you're going to leave X and not nuke your account, this is good way to leave it behind.

It makes it super obvious that you've moved off Twitter.
Includes the Bluesky handle so people can find you easily.
Private account so your content isn't available on there.

Posted about this before - the data comes from the awesome folks at @altmetric.com. Give them a follow if you wanna see similar data, they publish it on a monthly basis

For a tech company with so many users, it’s wasn’t really high. Twitter always had issues with monetisation, Elon obviously made it worse.

Bluesky Wins @blueskywins.bsky.social · Apr 9

how does that with the xAI deal? So he paid nothing to get X but now under xAI? how do banks factor in?

Bluesky Wins @blueskywins.bsky.social · Apr 9

I doubt the business genius will publish the data for 2025, these numbers only got published because of the xAI merger

I'd argue we can have complete free speech here as long as the algorithms is not pushing Nazis or have a pay to win algorithm where buying a blue tick gets your voice heard more.

no sometimes i post landings by really really famous people - she's still on X, for now.

Bluesky Wins @blueskywins.bsky.social · Apr 7

Don't think she's late, still part of the first 35M users or so. I want everyone that's not a Nazi to join Blueksy but you can't expect celebs/politicians to sign up to every new platform, no matter how small

Tech writer legend Walt Mossberg now on Bluesky, no longer on X.

"Under Elon Musk, Twitter has not only decided to stop blocking bigots and liars and pro-insurrectionists, it has actively welcomed them, with apparent support from Mr. Musk"
