   @arcana @sun X? I mean it still has some relevance, but things like the API integrations getting busted (leading to almost everyone voluntarily retiring their share features), advertisers wanting nothing to do with the site, and the userbase becoming an insipid far right echo chamber have moved mountains in terms of losing them all of the social capital they may have once had. And in terms of who is leading the migrations, like, I have complete normie friends who either don't know what the fediverse is or have a vague understanding that it's a drama-filled hellscape and to a man, they have all landed on Bluesky and quit using X for good.

     @allison @arcana do you think that it's worse re right wingers compared to say 2015-2016? I was saying it wasn't worse since elon took over but I haven't been on it lately. the site is still banning conservatives, all noise about X attacking shitlibs was literally just them suffering under finally being punished for things like doxing harassment etc that right wingers were always punished for.

     @sun @arcana Yes, massive qualitative difference both in terms of the kinds of content getting boosted and the vibes of the userbase as a whole. Ironically, I think fedi is way closer to mid-2010s Twitter in this regard than X, all the former anitwitter clique is here and they're still pretty much the same as they ever were.
