X's MAU has reached about 570 million. I just hope it doesn't collapse under its own weight before getting there. Do they have any secret strategies to sustain it?

Can we make a meaningful comparison between the two, given that they're both private companies that could just be saying whatever they want people to hear? I mean, I have no doubt that Twitter is an order of magnitude greater in popularity, but there are so many factors at play here, especially given the number of bots and duplicate accounts in existence.

You would think people would learn from their mistakes and not move onto another centralized platform backed by VC money, but here we are.

People don’t really care about decentralisation. Bluesky arrived at the right time, unlike Mastodon.

And it didn't involve a really confusing question as a barrier to entry.
