Over the past few months, traffic to the site formerly known as Twitter has taken a nosedive as competitors like Bluesky and Threads continue to bring in more and more users.

According to the traffic-estimating service Similarweb, visits to the Elon Musk-owned social network now known as X have plummeted over the past three months.

Bluesky is far easier to get into if you come from Twitter

Yup, you just make an account and you're there, like everything else they e ever signed up for.

The fediverse is too obscure for the average person to just jump into from Twitter. You can explain it as simply as you want, as soon as you say words like server and instance, or even abstracts like comparing it to email, they'll have no fucking idea and their eyes will just glaze over.

Bluesky is singularly cohesive, one account, one service, like every other account they've ever made anywhere else. The people still on sites like Twitter are those that don't want to learn, they just want to consume.
