Everybody is leaving X.

Having choices and posting where you feel comfortable is important. X is still somewhere between 25 and 50 times larger by active posters than the competition even after purging millions of bots. I use both.

I got out of Twitter about 8 years long before the acquisition. Very negative place. I have less interest in BlueSky.
To each their own.

Social media is dying. It seemed like forums were dying too, but I'm finding that I actually prefer it to the big socials now.
Not a big X fan, but so much misinformation here. The opposite is closer to the truth.

it was like that when I got here
I’m pretty sure the majority of users are now Russian bots.

Up 15% and 43% compared to what baseline? If it were an impressive number in the millions, Musk would've probably tweeted that. It's probably like 1500 on a base of 10k. Links in bio.

. X and FB have reached critical mass and will continue to be dominant. And that number is in the millions.

Anyone who believes a word this pompous douchebag says is out to lunch, TBQH.
I still use Twitter daily, and the bot problem has never been worse
Regardless of opinion about Musk, X has become drenched in anger, bots, bad algorithms, unwanted ads and sports gambling. There's a critical mass of hockey accounts on Bsky now so it's easy to get good up-to-date hockey content without the unwanted dross.I despise social media in general, but the Musk haters are in for a very disappointing time

For a second I was going to be like, uhh. Who?
But yeah. I'm assuming you're talking about Kevin. We've gotta start calling him He-man or something, just for the sake of brevity.
Scoreless in his last game but other than that he's improved from 0.83ppg last year to 1.40ppg this year. He's scored 62% of the points as he did last year in 40% of the time so hes bound to run up about 80 points by the end of the year im sure.

Same. The only player that was mentioned in the last dozen or so posts was Salomonsson.

Well, you make a valid point in that total users doesn't mean good discussion. I have some of my best interactions in forums that have very few users. Maybe smaller is better.

As much as any late rounder in his draft+1 season. If you can score a lot of points while playing a grindy playstyle, without leeching off better players, there is a decent chance of an NHL future. It probably means you have the puck skills, and very good work ethic, without necessarily having star level skills.

If you ask sociologists, there is a very clear indication that humans work extremely well in mid-sized groups, but are not good at handling very large groups. I'd wager online discussion forums follow that tendency as well.

Optimistic Jets fans would say definitely yes. In reality, I'd say he has just started to put himself in the discussion. That's saying a lot for a guy who was a 4th rounder just a few months ago.

All I know is that all of the people - ALL - that I used to follow and occasionally converse with have left.
I did not say that everybody had left. I said that everybody is leaving. Its a process.
I don't know what you mean. So much misinformation on the hfboards? If so, I can't say I agree. People here are giving opinions about sports. It isn't science.

He was mentioned in that post.
I suggest he should be HE, or HE.
New Data Shows X Is Losing Users in the US and UK
More data on X's gradual decline.
Despite Elon Musk’s claims that X is reaching new record highs in usage every other month, and that the app remains a critical connector, the latest data shows that Elon’s X project is losing user interest, sparked, in many cases, by Musk’s own divisive commentary in the app.
So why does Elon keep saying that X is trending up?
Well, a lot of that is selective reporting.
For example, Elon has repeatedly claimed that X has become the number one news app in several regions. But that’s not true, X/Twitter has been the number one news app in virtually every region since 2016, when Twitter changed the app’s classification from “social media” to “news.”
That’s because most actual news apps have far fewer users comparatively. And because X is a social media app, with (at last report) 250 million daily active users, it ranks better than them, but it’s not a news app, and shouldn’t be classified as such. In fact, it can’t be listed as a news app on the Google Play Store because it’s reliant on UGC.
But as we’ve reported previously, most of these claims also don’t stack up, with X reporting higher usage stats in other measures. I suspect that X’s “active seconds” is only measuring this since the change to X, and not all-time for Twitter as well. But essentially, the numbers don’t really mean much when X is changing the parameters of its reporting.
But either way, the claim that X has suddenly risen to become the number one news app, in any region, is blatantly false.
Elon is now relying on “user seconds” as a key metro to measure X’s performance.
If Musk says something you know 100% it is a lie. That is all he is capable of doing.
