It's surprising that any serious organization or person would still use Twitter in its current state.
No true scotsman's fallacy - no serious person would use X; if you use X you aren't serious .
Can't help but notice arstechnica seems to have an anti-Elon agenda. I recall them posting articles claiming Twitter's content was important for historical reasons (agree on that) and would disappear once Elon took over, which afaik, didn't happen.
The data's longevity was probably helped by being a potent source of hate to power Musk's AI

X hides discussions. If somebody sends you a link you can't see the discussion without an account and logging in and being extensively tracked. Not sure what you mean about anti-Elon bias. This was straightforward reporting of the truth. If reality has an anti-Elon bias then perhaps it's not bias.
Bluesky is still trending downward in activity and has been losing popularity over the last year. https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats
I suspect that's pretty common for something that's been in the news quite a bit: you get occasional big jumps in attention & usage, and then only some smaller percentage of users will stick around longer term. When you're getting such big spikes in signups this is unavoidable I think - even with new users coming in, the descent from the spike overwhelms any other trends.
The interesting question is whether that settles down into a slow steady sustainable state eventually. Looks plausible but still unclear imo.
I don’t see it as sustainable and fewer people are using it. X is undoubtedly worse but Bluesky doesn’t appear to be the answer.

I found Bluesky to be extremely hostile to AI and mostly far leftists canabalizing each other. I don’t see it as sustainable and fewer people are using it. X is undoubtedly worse but Bluesky doesn’t appear to be the answer.
>They ended up with a final sample size of 813 people. I want BlueSky to succeed but this sampling bias is simply too much to ignore. This comment (by nunobrito) from few days ago on a similar topic is best analysis of this topic. > These news are awfully similar to click-bait stating "the science is settled" by grouping a small set of the group and then pretending it represents the whole. The paper failed both to id…
