I almost want to have used x, so I could quit using it and improve this statistic.

But I never did

I never used twitter but I deleted my account right after muskrat bought it.

Just sign up for bluesky and mastodon then. Become a statistic on that side.

Im on Mastodon. Rarely use it because I'm no fan of the format (same reason I never got into Twitter). I do jump on and follow causes that I support that switch to it.

That's not how it works. They already didn't use Twitter because it's not useful to them, why would they use a similar service now?

Maybe they just never bothered to try.

Also while the platforms are similar, the users and thus the content are not just a smaller version of Twitter.
