And so it seems that Threads is, in fact, losing active users day by day. No surprise there. First, they announced a massive user growth (anyone with an Instagram account can sign up with a click). At first, even Europeans managed to sign up by downloading the apk, but then they locked everything down. In the end, it became just another social platform we've seen before, just like many others, from the same old company that keeps changing its look but remains the same, with no particularly notable innovations. Many have returned (or stayed) on Twitter... uh, I mean X.
Google+, in its time, brought some substantial novelties. Threads, not so much.

Patient and conscious users (especially those who experienced the dawn of the social media era) have started to also/move to specific Mastodon instances.

All in all, Musk's arrival had the same effect as breaking a bottle: shards scatter everywhere, and there's no way to put them back together.

Waah, Waah....little thin skinned #MuskerFusker Elon is "maddy" that people aren't checking' his stupid racist tweets enough.

Do all malignant narcissists have the emotional intelligence of toddlers?....FFS.

Musk changes the rules on who gets to vote in Twitter polls he puts up after he was told to fuck off by a majority of Twitter voters.

You’ll have to pay his interest bills if you want to have any say in future.

Gives a whole new meaning to ‘free speech’ when, in fact, the far right will only listen to those with money:

Space Karen aka Money Boo Boo’s incitement to violence against actual people of note and interest continues apace as he starts to try flog Twitter ticks to the dribbling masses for more than it would cost them for a Netflix subscription 🤷‍♂️

The Childish Drama of Elon Musk

Yet again, an important part of the public square is controlled by a narcissistic toddler:

It's clear Musk would rather burn Twitter to the ground than hear people question the wisdom of his choices.

Musk dissolves #Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council just an hour before it was due to meet.

He’s going full on Gab for out and proud Nazis isn’t he?

Help support @stopfundinghate by ensuring that every last advertiser on Twitter knows you are boycotting them until they pull their ads from the far right fascist’s hate platform:

Elton John has quit Twitter.

Meanwhile Musk is engaging in a bitch fight with the beardy twat that created the cesspit he now owns.

Everything’s going swimmingly in MuskWorld™️ — honest…

San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection said Tuesday it was investigating a complaint that #Twitter had created makeshift bedrooms at its headquarters in the city, as new owner Elon Musk seeks to instill a “hardcore” culture at the social media company:
