Who Leaves X?
As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site. But the right needs liberals on X. If the platform becomes akin to “alt-tech platforms” such as Gab or Truth Social, this shift would be good for people on the right who want their politics to be affirmed. It may not be as good for persuading people to join their political movement.
I am certain common sense is not a monopoly, especially not a monopoly of a party. It happens that most democrats are leaving X because of Musk’s bias towards republicans, but it doesn’t mean people are leaving X because they are leftists.
In my opinion, they are guided by common sense, which says a social network should not be politically biased.
Bluesky is a proxy for Twitter, that old one, not the X. That is why they gather ranks these days, while Threads has an existing Instagram base they are counting (on).
