> they're being usurped on all sides between TikTok, X and BlueSky

Good grief. Please leave your bubble once or twice in a month.

Tiktok yes. X and Bluesky, absolutely not.

Monthly active users:

From DemandSage:

    Facebook - 12 billion!?
    TikTok - 1.59 billion
    X - 611 million
    Bsky - 38 million

That's according to DemandSage ... I'm not sure I can trust the numbers, FB jumped up from around 3b last year, which again I don't trust. 12b is more than the global population, so it's got to be all bots. And even the 3b number is hard to believe (at close to half the global population), no idea how much of the population of earth has any internet access.

From Grok:

    Facebook - 3.1 billion
    TikTok - 1.5-2 billion
    X - 650 million
    Bsky - 4.1 million

Looks like I'm definitely in a bubble... I tend to interact 1:1 as much on X as Facebook, which is mostly friends/family and limited discussions in groups. A lot of what I see on feeds is copy/pasta from tiktok though.

That said, I have a couple friends who are die hard on Telegram.

  • pardon me but I am just a little surprised as to how telegram came in the last paragraph? we were talking about social medias and telegram is a messaging app...

    • Telegram Groups sometimes blur the line between message-only interactions and social media dynamics, depending on how many bots and features they got running.
