Why YSK:
Although politicians and journalists often treat it like major platform, or even the “digital town square,” X is fairly minor social media platform. The various Meta platforms (including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger) have combined 10 billion monthly active users. X (Twitter) is about 5.5% that size. It trails behind not only the obvious giants like Meta, Google (YouTube) and TikTok (Douyin), but also well behind platforms that are exclusive to one country or region, like WeChat or Weibo, and behind “also-rans” like Snapchat, Reddit, and Pinterest.
X is not a major platform. It has continued to struggle with outages, trolling, user exodus, and now a little more than an Internet ghost town.
Has anyone ever used pinterest on purpose
Yes
I even excluded it from my search engines results.
For some reason Twitter specifically is like black tar heroin to politicians. Even post-Musk, left wing politicians like AOC and Bernie are still giga active on the platform.
Sorry this comment is just too funny.
Why do people still use the Nazi pedophile app
Niche content that either is hard to find elsewhere or you will be using something like TikTok which is in no way better.
Good riddance honestly.
Even when Jack was managing that shithole it was still a shithole. Magnitudes better than the nuclear wasteland it is now but a shithole none the less.
Btw the embeddedscience.org article you linked is, at least partly Ai generated.
…It’s No. 1 in percentage of Nazis, though.
Totally unforgivable there are still so many politicians, reporters and self-respecting organisations on there.
Inertia. Much harder to “do something” in an enterprise than as an individual user.
Wow, to fall behind Pinterest is quite an achievement (derogatory)
I assumed it was a dying platform but then I found out why it’s so popular again - kids uae it as a backdoor to access TikTok/Youtube shortform content.
The only “social network” my teenager has asked permission to make an account on is Pinterest.
I was a little confused at the request, because in my mind Pinterest was a defunct site that no one used, but apparently it’s popular with at least some of the younger generation.
I’ve come around slightly on Pinterest. Not fully–it’s still vapid and there’s a lot of attempted lock-in–but there is some good stuff on there, and its attempt at curating creativity is kind of refreshing.
Pinterest is a social network?
I kind of feel the same about YouTube, but I do know they have comments at least…I love looking at stuff like this and not knowing what half of these things are.
You dont have peeble on doop? Boomer.
I know all of them even if I don’t have active accounts on there…
Edit: Actually the only ones I’ve never had an active account on are Messenger and Kuaishou. My datafootprint is an excavation site.
Its a self-suck fest for people who think of themselves as being “in media”
Twitter has American politicians, celebrities, press, and corporations, as well as world leaders and they all still use it to blabber publicly, so it doesn’t need to cater the the proles.
Is there any actual 3rd party verification of the users or is it just “trust me bro!”?
These things are notoriously difficult to measure accurately, but this is from Statistica, which has a reputation for pretty good metrics. At the very least, one would expect their metrics to be comparable across the analysis, if not necessarily a perfect measure of absolute numbers.
You almost got the name of your source right, good job!
still has orders of magnitude better ui than instagram
