That's actually a lot. I didn't think it would be that much. I try not to give into hype but if these numbers are true this might actually be Twitter dying. There is also no going back with some of the decisions elon made.
That's not actually a lot.
This 30% comes after at least as high a percentage already left in the half year after the narcissistic sociopath took over.
Pretty much everyone I was subbed to was already gone, either account closed or inactive, by the time I closed my account.
And my Twitter account was almost as old as my Gmail account. I accrued a rather substantial list of people I followed through the past nearly 2 decades.
Damn, that's even worse! Holy crap. The more people leave the less viable the platform becomes. Social media networks only function when there's other people in them.
