A recent headline reads that many Twitter users are leaving in masses since its takeover by Billionaire Elon Mask and moving into other similar but much smaller social media sites like Mustodon and Tumblr.

From a recent Business Insider articles highlights:

• “Since taking over Twitter, Musk has said Twitter’s active users have surged to new highs. 
• “New data from SensorTower found that smaller rivals like Mastodon and Tumblr have also seen an explosion of growth. 
• “Twitter installs have grown by 21% since Musk’s takeover, while Mastodon’s have grown by 657%, according to the data.

Quoting from SensorTower data, the Insider writes that “Tumblr, another microblogging service once owned by Yahoo (Automattic), saw adoption surge by 96% in the US and 77% worldwide”.

Since the take over of the Twitter by Musk, most national media are covering Musk and Twitter almost daily on its purge of 50% its staff, surging misinformation and other news.
