    Trash article. Its 30% less downloads, not less users. Why even post this?

      A lot of Lemmy communities need rules against misleading/editorialised headlines already, it’s as bad or worse than Reddit right now.

        This is why the downvote system is such a failure of an idea.

        If people were as smart as they think they are, they’d just downvote stuff like this and it would go away. People post this junk because they are removed for upvotes

          It would work better if you could tweak what is shown based off the ratio. There are half as many downvotes as upvotes on this article.

          it’s easier to create multiple accounts on fediverse than on mainstream social media websites. Then just upvote your own posts with the bots.

            Why would any individual person go to this much trouble for upvotes?

            That sounds more like what a country would do to infect the people with their propaganda

      If it’s negative and it’s about Musk, it gets posted. NO EXCEPTIONS!

        Yeah, there’s literally a post about his kid’s name, I really don’t understand why that’s relevant to anything at all. So I just downvote and move on, maybe leave a comment while I’m there.

    Good. When all they have left is bots and advertisers figure out that’s all their clicks are and then decide to abandon the platform entirely, then X will be done.

    Did my part. Bye bye account!

      The Nazis, Pedos and other whackjobs will stay tho. They’d be so convinced that the amplification of right wing chatter on there, because everyone else has left, means they are now everyone and “won”.

        Right, but they won’t pay. Eventually, it’s impossible to run servers or pay anyone. So it’ll die if there’s no advertisers and just bad actors and bots.
