I wish they would cite numbers proving this. Usage on another platform does not necessarily indicate an exodus. Bluesky may have seen a jump in users by a million but that only puts it up to 17 million users which is not much compared to Twitter's 250 million daily users.

Alleged daily users, right?

We don't know how many of those are bots.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Correct. But the same goes for Bluesky.

Twitter didn't get to 250m users overnight. Give it some time.

I think 17M is enough for critical mass. It'll snowball now, it's probably a lot more than Mastodon has seen.
