    Yeah, I don’t see a lot of people jumping ship until something even bigger happens or an alternative can slow bleed them well enough.

    My friend got the SBF news off of Ex-Twitter as well as getting NBA news as well. He doesn’t like Musk but definitely won’t change his routine.

      It might be faster than you think. I know a lot of people who used to look at/share tweets without an account.

      Since the X rebrand, it works about 30% of the time for me.

      Twitter had a lot of users, but also a whole lot of people who used the platform passively without signing up (and were either uninterested in doing so or incapable).

        oh right that’s something I completely forgot about! I don’t use the site/app myself.

        Hard pushing accounts and I think charging an annual fee to deter bots can push others out harder.

        it would make me so happy to see Ex-Twitter fail.
