MODERATORS
Don't go to BlueSky !!! They're not better than X. They obey to the same leaders... MONEY, GREED, AND POWER. A few weeks ago they restricted 72 Turkish protesters the access to their BlueSky accounts on simple request of the Turkish Government. So, BlueSky cannot be trusted they will secure the accounts of their customers. If Trump would ask BlueSky to block all accounts of members who are against him, they'll do it right away.

I mean, Mastodon is German, so they're probably moving here. The federated fork of Dorsey's Twitter is second.
BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.
"federated"
There is always that one comment saying "b-but its technically kinda federated". It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% of all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

Abandon anything this Nazi touches.
I forgot that people are still using Twitter. WTF!?
They are not - he X/cancelled it.:-P
Let me guess, they're moving to Bluesky?
I tried moving to Mastadon first a few years ago and it was a pretty shit experience, Bluesky however has stuck in my app rotation pretty well.

Or meta because its better? Like getting run over by a small car instead of a bus.
Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset "chase that bag" crap.
I'm.on Lemmy and mastodon. Anything else is pure sarcasm. I sarcastically browse for TV's on Amazon. But will I buy? No. All have spyware on them, so no. I wouldn't touch meta with a 300ft pole.

Threads sucks compared to bsky don't know what you're talking about there. Bluesky has way more features and posting quality.
Unironically yes sadly :(
That's were the marketing dollars are
Ayyy, gotta have that monaaaay!
Read an interview with a youth researcher that said, he does not see a problem with the content moderation (regarding extremism) because young people are anyway not interested in the disussions on there because its only for porn...
twitter was used for Porn for most users, after the tumblr purge they all moved to twitter, or peopel curious about porn actors.
Those are rookie numbers, euros, get on that shit.
It's not just X; American social media has been gradually turning into such a shit show for the last 10 years: censorship, misinformation, consensus manufacture and creeping enshitification. I jumped ship to the fediverse and never looked back!
What's the quality like of the people who are still on Twitter in 2025? Does the fediverse want them? (These are real questions, I have no idea if there's still any decent people on Twitter.)
Every massive influx from Twitter has brought a deluge of people I want nothing to do with in any way shape or form, and a small sprinkling of cool ones. Fortunately like 4/5ths of the crappy ones leave again, but that other 1/5th is a big number when you're talking an influx of hundreds of thousands.
There likely are (I quit Twitter over a year ago), just because it does unique coverage on many topics.

Small chances for now, but let's keep growing small communities here. People need to get tired of Instagram and centralized algorithms to switch to fediverse

Might have to also let people know the Fediverse exists?
It is humanities responsibility to make the rest of this man’s life miserable
The right-wing billionaire’s platform has recently lost about 10 percent of its European user base.
It's a good start but we gotta pump those numbers up.

EDIT/additional bit: funk's german post referenced this Imperva Bad Bot Report 2024
The rest are bots and Russian troll farms.
