Has the end of X approached?

Will X's fall be a global earthquake, and Meta as well? Which will come first?
It will be proven that decentralization is its downfall, even if after a while. Panic will spread across the planet — where is the escape, where will I go? The world will know that decentralization is the foundation.
In X, only a few people and some blue badges remain. We await you eagerly, on fire. Welcome to Noster.
Survival of the fittest and the righteous; freedom prevails.

X looks alive and well. Being a social network, there's so many degrees of freedom that they should really mess up to fall down. There's always room for centralized services, the greatest value of decentralized services being to make their centralization optional, instead of unavoidable, thus disciplining the market. X will find its way.

Perhaps it will find its way temporarily, but I believe centralized networks are like dominoes—if one falls, they all fall quickly. We don't know; maybe the beginning will come from elsewhere. In my opinion, freedom comes with a price; we have suffered and continue to suffer from these networks in terms of freedom of expression. Decentralization is the solution, dear.

We all agree on the value and importance of decentralization, that's out of question. I'm just arguing that it will not kill centralized services. The description you make of them falling as dominoes do not reflect on historical examples of which there are many, netscape being the most blatant: it's like if google, the mother of web centralized services, was to disappear today without anything but one sole centralized competitor (which should fall too immediately after by your theory). Following your theory it should have been a world-ending scenario, and reality wasn't remotely close to that.

I believe what awaits centralized networks will be extremely shocking, especially considering the vast amount of data held by owners of these networks, particularly concerning privacy. We won't have to wait long to see scandals popping up here and there. In my view, something is quietly brewing in parallel with ongoing struggles and wars in the world, and I don't think the decline will be gradual but rather catastrophic.
You can call it a 'theory,' but I strongly believe in it.

Too many journalists and pundits use it, even left wingers who vowed to leave and never come back because Elon is a threat to democracy

Is there any tangible data as to how Twitter is faring following Musk's takeover? MSM seems to claim its being used less and less, losing many advertisement deals, while Musk himself keeps saying the numbers are up. Both sides are preaching to their own choir...

Twitter can’t suppress and suspend dissident accounts anymore
That is a win for free speech
Thank you Elon

It's a temporary agreement, we'll see about that.

Everyone I know who cancelled their twitter accounts eventually came back
It’s like Americans saying I’m moving to Canada if Trump is elected. No one moved to Canada.

It's been a media war from the start. We can't deny that Elon Musk is a polarizing figure for some global factions, but I base this on the significant increase in users for decentralized networks recently. We see clear frustration with centralized networks due to freedom of expression, at least lately. I think it's a ball rolling and growing, and we won't wait long. Stay well 🤗☕
