I left X when it was still called Twitter, and do extensive ad-blocking (UBO; Medium mode), so I don’t see anything posted there. Thanks for the information.
Please stop using X. It only has ad income due to the “daily active users” numbers still being high. Leave it and if you still need to follow select accounts on it, join a Mastodon instance that doesn’t defederate @bird.makeup or one of the other X mirroring services.
I just googled the two names and grabbed the first link.
I think they use Facebook, Twitter, and Substack. Which all have their own problems, and I’d love for them to use better platforms.
Just wanted to get as close of a source as possible. The oligarch owned media will always put a slant on it in articles, because they want to depress Dem primary turnouts.
I believe an X mirroring service will count as a single “daily active user” for the X numbers, no matter how many actual people are accessing the information downstream of the mirroring service. I don’t use that number myself, so I’m not sure how it is calculated.
I can operate without X. But, not everyone can. For example, there are governmental organizations that only publish announcements on X. So, some people are going to need to use a mirroring service (or X itself) until they can get entities outside their direct control to change behavior, which always takes time.

I never use it…

So Nitter instances won’t contribute to the active user numbers?

Replace the x and put xcancel and that solves that issue.
