X is.. dead? That's news to me.

As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024

What... reality do you live in?

How many bots.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably very hard to know given that Musk had to buy the company to find out.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well now he owns it so should be easy for him to publish that.

But then those who carry musky water for him probably wouldn't be able to do so.

I could be wrong, but I thought Elon had a campaign to eliminate bots from X? Not sure if that ever took place though or if it's in the process of.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cool.

But until you call tell me how many bots, your claim isn't evidence that it's actually as active as you imply it to be - at least by humans.

No one knows. Apparently all the bigots on X are the bots.

That's the best that has been done /shrug

Plus, who really gives a fk about X if you're not even using X? I don't know why the hardon for the community size of X.

I think it's more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.

Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!

[–] Zacryon@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 months ago

Wasn't the user count declining?
