A quarter of Twitter users said they ‘are not very or not at all likely to be on Twitter a year from now.’

I used to personally be constantly on Twitter. Now I’m only barely there, usually just to check on posts from friends who haven’t moved to other sites yet

    Twitter turning into a paradise for neo-Nazis, racists, misogynists and murderous terrorists does tend to make people consider alternatives.

      Yep, so true. Even before it wasn’t such a great place. It encouraged anger and fights, doomscrolling, and negativity even before Musk took over. I was seriously considering leaving it for good before he bought it. He just made a bad thing worse, honestly. It was already on a downward trend. Even their internal research had shown that all of their top tweeters who had the most positive engagement had already gone away.

        It wouldn’t surprise me if the constant loud and vulgar presence of the orange shithead and the hashtag-maga shitheads, splashing their shit all over the place, was the main catalyst to dishearten and drive away many of those who wanted to make Twitter a positive experience.

    A company head by Elon Musk lying about something? I’m shocked. Next we will find out Zuckerberg is dishonest too.
