Hmm...interesting.
I also read that Meta pushed it out to get a jump on Mozilla.
Whatever Zuckerberg's motives or thought processes are, he has further fragmented Twitter users. Each new platform or Musk- inflicted crisis results in a percentage of users leaving the site forever or decreasing their time on the site, which is also impacting engagement.
Professional accounts that stayed on Twitter and posted exclusively are finding themselves in a reactionary mode. It was one thing to be without a plan in November when the Muskifcation started, but now? They should be on every platform. They will never see all of their former followers in one place again unless Meta joins the fediverse AND they have a separate account to reach those on instances that blocked Meta.
