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.

One, the whole signup thing is user hostile. Just picking an instance seems like a huge decision.

Two, the people I want to read updates from are not there. They are in Bluesky though, at least for the most part.

Three, the people that are there are huge argumentative jackasses that get into nerd slap fight over nothing all the fucking time.

Four, it’s just not that fun.
