00:00I users really fleeing Elon Musk's ex?
00:08Users have been deserting ex, formerly known as Twitter, since the US presidential election, citing concerns over toxic rhetoric and pro-Trump partisanship.
00:21Around 115,000 ex accounts were reportedly deleted in the US the day after the presidential vote.
00:29But is this really the start of a mass exodus from the Musk owned platform? And where are users migrating?
00:37Data on ex usage across the world is contested because of the platform's opaque reporting.
00:43But estimates suggest there were 611 million monthly users globally in April this year, falling by 6% to 588 million by September.
00:56The decline was driven by departures from the platform in the US, the UK and the EU.
01:03Data on ex usage in the EU provided by the platform shows that ex users have plummeted by a staggering 16% over the past year, with user numbers declining in 25 of 27 EU member states.
01:17It's clear that some Western users are growing skeptical of the platform under Musk's leadership.
01:24But Musk and his entourage say other metrics, such as seconds spent on the app and the number of video views, prove that the platform is in fact growing.
01:34Since the US election, downloads of competitor platform BlueSky have surged by an estimated 10 million.
01:42The platform was set up by former Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and has a stronger focus on content moderation.
01:49But at just 20 million users worldwide, it's not yet close to challenging the dominance of ex.
