X’s user base in the European Union is now officially lower than it was prior to Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company.
And that’s according to a new report from Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter, but you knew that). The social media platform now has a total of 94.8 million monthly active users in the EU.
That’s a loss of roughly 11 million European users from X’s previous transparency report, as highlighted by Social Media Today.
Mashable previously reported on X’s declining user base in the EU last fall. Now, we know that X’s European user base has continued to drop. In 2022, before Musk acquired the social media platform, the company had more than 100 million users in Europe.
EU needs to run own instance of Mastodon officially and have ALL European politicians on it and go off X entirely. Posting anything on X is supporting nazi Elon.
The Commission already has an instance and the ECJ also has an instance. I didn’t find one for the parliament, they might not even want to have one but instead leave it to the parties. A parliament instance would amount to the EP president policing parliamentarian’s speech not just inside parliament but also outside of it, kinda iffy.
Is there a list of more popular decentralized platform and their equivalent?
-
Reddit -> lemmy
-
Twitter -> Mastodon
-
FB -> ??
-
Discord -> ??
Matrix is a fuck. I sometimes use it. Way to buggy for general use
Mastodon can also replace the main FB feed. Matrix would be the closest alternative for Discord, but it has its share of problems.

Social Media is an entirely different game if you’re not doing it for manipulation purposes. At scale, government operated social media fails, due to lack of or excess moderation. Social media works because it triggers emotions. People go there to hate. Mastodon is methadone for these junkies.
I don’t even understand why anyone would trust any self-published metrics from this scam artist.
That’s a start. But it is still a long way to go.
Yah, 94 million active monthly users still in the EU. The network effect is real.
Yeah that’s 20% of the population of the EU (total population figure of 450 million used). It’s mental that after all of the things that have happened recently, 1 in 5 people still use Xitter and that’s not even excluding babies.
Not enough I’m afraid.
Do better EU. You can lose all your subscriptions to musks Nazi platforms.
Took way too fucking long, how are people still on there unless they are total Nazis and racists.
I have stopped using twitter. Is that enough or do I need to delete my account somehow?
Delete!
Empty it and delete it
That’s sad news. It still had 11 million users.
