Tumblr, a still frequently used but ultimately more historical social networking site, recorded 301,000 post-acquisition downloads compared to 170,000 for the same time before.
In addition, smaller sites like CounterSocial have expanded – SensorTower claims the young platform received 33,000 global installations in the 12-day period after acquisition, a 3,200 per cent increase.
In other rival news, former Twitter CEO and creator Jack Dorsey’s new Bluesky social media app, which is a decentralised take on social networks like Mastodon, just completed its first round of beta testing, which began in late October.
With other social media platforms acquiring new users by the day, Twitter’s user base has shifted as well – mostly away from the platform.
