      Similarweb can provide estimates, in October it it is 4.575B visits for x.com vs 75.87M for bsky.app . so about 1.63% of visits, so x.com isn’t going away in time soon it seems.

      Yeah but I mean I’ve often seen people claim they leave X for something else, only for them to return a couple of weeks or months later again. This seems to happen with every new similar platform that pops up. It’s just like Lemmy being a Reddit alternative, but it seems to forever struggle to take off, and it never quite feels like the amount of engagement you get on Reddit, just because everyone is staying there or returning there anyway.

      I think it’s mostly due to alternatives trying to copy the originals, instead of doing something new that could keep people interested longer to build up a bigger community.
