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.

Discord -> Matrix or Revolt.

Though Discord is trying to be an everything-app these days so "alternatives" to it include old school forums, wikis, screen sharing programs, IRC, Mumble/TeamSpeak, file sharing site etc if you just keep spliting individual parts of it off.

Matrix is a fuck. I sometimes use it. Way to buggy for general use
