The Guardian announced its cessation of posts on X, labeling the platform as 'toxic' due to unchecked hate speech and far-right conspiracy theories. Influenced by the recent U.S. presidential election, the move reflects broader concerns about X's influence under Musk's ownership. Following the election, Bluesky experienced a user surge, gaining over 1 million new users, while X reported record engagement. Notable figures, including journalist Don Lemon, have also announced their departure from X. These shifts indicate a growing skepticism toward X as a viable platform for political discourse.
