There is a clear successor to X now, Bluesky, which means anyone not happy with X knows what their best option is.

My guess is, when X and Bluesky are roughly even in terms of active users, X's user base will start to collapse and there will be a mass exodus to Bluesky.

I’m guessing the worst of the worst will hang back at Xitter because they’d otherwise be banned elsewhere, and it will be a cesspool not unlike 8chan.

Which is a nice change, usually every alternative starts up exactly because the worst of the worst got banned from the original and had to migrate to somewhere else, and then it's an uphill battle for anyone else to make use of that platform.

I like to think we’re the best of the best, at least on some instances.
