The #TwitterMigration Report, made by @tchambers@indieweb.social's team, makes for captivating reading. They argue that three migrations are happening:

1. User migration
2. Developer migration
3. Technology migration

It confirms what I think many people suspected. The primary beneficiaries of the migration from X (formerly Twitter) have been Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads.

But also, the rebranding from Twitter to X has had a significant impact on migration. It not only resulted in a dramatic decrease in app downloads for X, but a drastic increase in downloads for Mastodon and Bluesky -- and opened the door for Threads' viability.

But also, centralized alternatives to X have now flatlined. Interest in Spoutible, Tribel, Hive, and Post.news has simply not been the same as Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads. It looks like the future might be decentralized social networks.

More curious is Nostr. While it is decentralized, it uses a different model entirely than Mastodon. While it has a small dedicated fanbase, it hasn't been able to break out of its bubble of crypto enthusiasts.

That's the picture for user growth. But what about developer growth? Well, to my eyes, it looks like the future is with ActivityPub. Automattic, Flipboard, and Mozilla are all supporting the technology. Jimmy Wales revealed that his next social media product will likewise support ActivityPub.

This is a must-read!
