For people worried about their following on X / Twitter, it's really truly not worth it.
I've left behind 74K followers. I don't miss having my content on there at all, and it has clearly *not* affected traffic even in the slightest bit.
It's been a week since my last content posted from the website to X, so I have a pretty good look at traffic now, there was literally *no* drop-off, and the first few days after leaving X traffic went up 🤷
Stevez reshared this.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •Hmm.. Might it have something to do with the fact that you're about gaming on #Linux and, well... all the Linux nerds are on here? 🙂
(In any case, congrats for leaving twitter and I'm glad you found your crowd!)

I've long since surpassed that on Mastodon. It helps that there's no algorithm which hates me around here!

But many people derive huge amounts of traffic from Twitter.
I think it's an oversimplification to assert that your use case applies to everyone else.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are going to remain on Twitter. What we need is crossposting first, especially from governments.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •Maybe you are not Twitter based, but for me, Twitter has always been a fantastic source of traffic.
I wish I could replace it but unfortunately, the fediverse and Bluesky are not anywhere close.

You should stop projecting your traffic experience onto others.
Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮
in reply to Matthew Sheffield • • •@mattsheffield I was going by Discover Flux, which I assumed you were on about for your work stuff which is why you wanted the reach.
I'm not projecting anything, and this attitude you seem to be giving me is now annoying. I was giving my own experience.

X is terrible, Twitter is dead. And I hope to see more people move on from it.
