   @FedicaHQ @samir - are you seeing this X/Twitter exodus at any scale?

     @tchambers @FedicaHQ @samir Makes sense. I haven't been a Twitter user for a few years even before Melon Husk took over. It's just an anger factory. Deleted Instagram yesterday because Zuck did some zucking up to Herr Trump. Working on WhatsApp and trying to get my friends over to Signal.

     I don't think I agree with the tweets though ("after an operation")
     I think for the most part these are ordinary people closing their account, over the last two days I have seen many people posting they are closing their account

     It is a noticeable but not huge. This has been the case for a while though, small noticeable waves of people leaving after an event (Brazil, UK, block button, AI issue) chipping at it a little at a time.

     I have talked to many users who find X best for them because other platforms are not welcoming (AI crowd, crypto crowd etc) and also others who find better engagement on other platforms, so it's a mixed bag.
