The U.S. has also seen a decrease of about a fifth in X's active users over the same period.Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is witnessing a significant user exodus. Controversial posts on X and overall direction have led to a noticeable decline in active users, particularly in the U.K.
特斯拉和spacex首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的社交媒體平台X，前身爲推特，目前正在經歷一場用戶大量流失。X上的爭議帖文和整體方向導致活躍用戶明顯減少，特別是在英國。
What Happened: Active daily users in the U.K. have decreased from eight million to around 5.6 million in the past year.
發生了什麼：英國的活躍日用戶數量在過去一年內從800萬減少到約560萬。
Over a third of this drop occurred after Musk made controversial posts, such as "civil war is inevitable," during the summer riots, reported Financial Times, citing Similarweb.
在夏季騷亂期間，馬斯克發表了煽動性言論，例如「內戰是不可避免的」，據《金融時報》援引Similarweb的報道，其中三分之一的減少發生在此之後。
The U.S. has also seen a decrease of about a fifth in X's active users over the same period.
在同一時期，美國的X活躍用戶數量也減少了約五分之一。
Disgruntled X users are migrating to alternative platforms, with Bluesky, a platform co-founded by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, gaining significant traction.
不滿意的X用戶正在遷移到其他平台，由推特創始人傑克·多西聯合創立的Bluesky獲得了重要的關注。
Despite having fewer absolute numbers than Meta Platform's Threads app, Bluesky has experienced rapid growth over the past six weeks, becoming a preferred choice for media professionals, policy experts, academics, and broader users.
儘管絕對數量比Meta Platform的Threads應用少，但Bluesky在過去六週經歷了快速增長，成爲媒體專業人士、政策專家、學者和更廣泛用戶的首選。
However, the report also highlights a potential issue with Bluesky's user base, which tends to hold similar viewpoints, creating an echo chamber effect.
然而，報告還突顯了Bluesky用戶群體可能存在的問題，他們傾向於持有相似觀點，產生了迴音壁效應。
Despite this, many users seem to appreciate the platform's echo chamber nature, likening it to the "old Twitter."
儘管如此，許多用戶似乎欣賞這個平台的迴音壁特性，將其比作「舊推特」。

Why It Matters: The user migration from X to Bluesky can be traced back to Musk's controversial remarks concerning the nationwide riots in the U.K.

八月份，據報道這些評論導致了bluesky在英國帳戶的用戶活躍度增加了60%。
Interestingly, Musk had previously expressed his gratitude for Dorsey after he called X "freedom technology."
有趣的是，馬斯克此前曾對多西表達感激之情，稱X爲「自由科技」。
This was after Dorsey stepped down from the Bluesky board amid controversy at Block.
這是在多西因Block公司爭議事件辭去bluesky董事會職務後發生的。
