> X's daily active user growth has plummeted from roughly 30% annually just a few years ago in 2020 to less than 2% in 2024, according to new data from X
A non-trivial amount of Bluesky posts are people dunking on screen caps from X. For me these seem to be default follows/feed items since I've tried (unsuccessfully) to only follow interesting tech accounts and avoid "Did you see the dumb political thing person A said, here is my clever comeback".
It does not yet feel like it stands on its own yet until it moves past that.
On a related note if anyone else could recommend tech follow and/or political block lists, I'd love to see it. I've tried several so far.
By comparison X has around 250 million daily users: https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-x-twitter-growth-stalls....
