Ah, I didn't realize the link I shared was Jaz's (it was shared in another comment), but they look similarly sideways over the past 6 months, with a noticeable bump in Dec / Jan.

Strong agreement, though I would say it looks to have reached a stable level for now. I've found several subcommunities that I can get good info from. I'm curious how the '26 election cycle will affect things, already seeing increase political discourse.
I don't think it's quite stable. The external events that caused waves of new users to arrive from X are getting rare and bringing in fewer. When those aren't happening it's been a slow, gradual decline.

> user-antagonistic communication could you provide some examples? i didn't really see this, but maybe i just missed it
There aren't really any, the user you're replying to is just disappointed the campaign to ban users for no (on platform, or really any) reason was not successful.
I respect the CEO for laughing at a melodramatic harassment campaign. The last thing those outrage addicts need is coddling & corporate babytalk.

No there isnt.
Yes true. B Corps allow the board to weigh things besides shareholder value. That's a meaningful distinction. The idea is that shareholder primacy isn't compatible with everything every corporation wants to do, so having a board that's protected from lawsuits when they put things above shareholders is a useful thing and B Corps offer that. The board can, for example, reject a "superior" takeover bid without fear of l…

What are you talking about? X is full of this shit, how can you claim that this gets censored when it is EVERYWHERE?
Show the class where you talked about it on X and it didn't get censored.

So ATProto is about to die, in other words. It was already wayyy too complex. And this? Yeah, they (you? sorry) really need to just give it up.
The vast majority of people don't want their activity broadcast out to the internet for anyone to grab. Permissioned / private data is non negotiable for any social media tech trying to gain mass adoption.

> There's lots of "politically incorrect" things which is a symptom of low filtration. Politically incorrect things might be a symptom of low filtration on almost any other site, but not one run by Elon Musk. He has a clear agenda and is not shy about putting his finger on the scale at X. It's so blatant and well documented that it's almost hard to imagine you could be commenting in good faith.

Same free speech as far as I can tell. >He has a clear agenda What's the agenda? >is not shy about putting his finger on the scale at X. What i…
