Not true. There is objective truth.

All of the user and download data says that X is highly successful since Elon musk purchased it.

This is very much a binary situation

Utter tosh it really is, your low cred is no cred.
"A disclosure from an investment company with equity in the company indicates that X's value has significantly declined since 2022.

The value of social media platform X has plunged by over 75 per cent compared to when billionaire owner Elon Musk bought it two years ago.

The information comes from a disclosure report for Fidelity’s Blue Chip Growth Fund. As of July, the fund had an equity stake in X worth $5.5 million (€4.96 million).

Originally, Fidelity invested $19.66 million (€17.73 million) when Musk purchased the social media company. Fidelity’s report puts the total valuation of X at $9.4 billion (€8.48 billion). That's less than a quarter of the $44 billion (about €39.6 billion) Musk paid for it in October 2022.

As X’s financial health continues to worsen, the company has taken cost-saving measures such as moving its main office from San Francisco, California, to Bastrop, Texas. According to the 2020 US census, the town’s total population was just 9,688."

You really are thick.

The financial situation has nothing to do with the underlying software. Financially is has been hit by people trying to stop him and keep the global censorship regime in place by withdrawing advertising etc.

Luckily, as I have said about 5 times now, the user data and all of the relevant metrics show that X is growing rapidly as people search for the truth over propaganda.

Still insulting everyone, huh?

Twitter is not to be trusted as a source of correct information.

Neither is Os quite the opposite in fact.

Oh really? Scotch yer metrics up yer rusty. Don't forget to take your head out first.
"Daily users of X, previously known as Twitter, have declined consistently since Musk acquired it in 2022. Last year, it had roughly 250 million daily active users and Musk claimed that the total would grow to 1 billion in 2024. On election day last week, X had only 162 million daily users—and even that was a yearly high, according to Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm that tracks the platform. A day later, that number had already dropped by 5 million, to 157 million daily users.
Under Musk’s ownership, X has lost an average of 14% of its users monthly, according to Sensor Tower. Despite the slight boost in daily users on the day of the election, an “elongated slide in active users” has continued, Sensor Tower’s research lead Seema Shah told Fortune.."

It’s laughable. Major brands and governments are trying to stop free speech. Why are they so scared of the truth?

Traditionally the left always used to try and fight the machine / establishment.

Now the left are the side of censorship, government overreach and societal degradation. It’s fun watching Elon smash their traditional power structures and long may it continue

Not really. People are making a decision that they’d prefer to use another platform to Twitter. That’s free will. Something I’m sure you support.

They’re doing that largely because they like to have civil and adult conversations (as Twitter was when it started) without having every thread jumped upon by people determined to shout their way into everything. Nothing to do with disliking free speech. Just disliking arseholes.

lol this is a binary situation.

It is if you as thick as pig **** and really don’t get it.

I said I wouldn’t engage and I apologise for doing so to everyone else, but really, this is getting too much.

Maybe I should remove myself from this board as I can’t cope with listening to a thick racist twat anymore.

Societal degradation is a phrase I find quite startling, to be honest. That is right out of the fascist phrase book. Worrying.

It’s very difficult to engage with someone who is intent of being a WUM, I bet he goes outside and shouts at clouds.
I might copy a previous poster and take a time out from this thread……,,,it’s very toxic nowdays on this thread.

I agree. Which is why the user metrics are very important.

and they continue to go up.

They don’t though. In August ‘24 there were 938 million unique X visitors, which is down from 1.6 billion in March. That’s a fairly big drop. 10% of users are responsible for 92% of posts too…

It’ll be really interesting to see what happens with those numbers come January as well.

A central tenet of fascism is the belittling, ridicule and dehumanisation of minority groups, like gay people, jews or people from the trans community.

You really are on it, today.

Not only posting far right **** but images too now. Turning this forum into a farce.

I’m out. Don’t really want to be be associated or engage with this type of crap.

Genuinely surprised that hate talk is being allowed here, to be honest. The ‘degradation of society’ comment was straight out of the Nazi playbook, then he follows it up with a transphobic comment.

Foul.

Yep and the comment a few weeks ago when talking about migrants raping ‘our women’ that I apparently am part of the problem. I was ****ing born here and not a migrant. He is a vile small minded, bigoted, ignorant twat.
