Metaphorical

24. It's worth noting

(I don't have links handy, but will post when I do) that the X-odus is well underway right now from Xitter, not only in terms of users but in terms of advertisers, and there's almost no migration to the platform nor advertiser support coming into it. About 55% of members are going to Bluesky, 35% to Threads, the remainder to various other platforms. Most are keeping their X Accounts to prevent others from using them.

There are those who will remain loyal to X, but they were already loyal to Musk and peripherally to Trump, but X isn't getting a lot of new traction at this point, and the social media are polarizing pretty much along existing red/blue lines. X-files generally do not fare well on Bluesky - the culture there is built around the notion that you can permanently block people, which you can't do in X, and most of the hard core trolls usually find themselves out in the cold when they bring their sociopathic behavior to bluesky.
