As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch
As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

The term soaring is pretty relative in this case. It's still completely unknown to the majority of the world. It's just like Lemmy, where the very few rigid types that absolutely couldn't stand for one particular thing that happened to their social network will do anything, including cutting their nose off to spite their face rather than continue to use it. That's why we're all here and it's why nobody else but us are coming.
Sadly true. As a nose cutter I will say that I have found the transition from Twitter to mastodon far more painless than Reddit to lemmy
Can you give more info on nose cutting? Haven’t heard the expression before.
Doing something you know will result in a negative(in our case here, losing a huge level of activity, participation, stability, etc).
Hey Elon! I hear there's this bigger, better Public Square that you should buy. I hear it needs more fascists to platform their hate...ahem, "free" speech in. It's called Reddit.
