I would find it more plausible that only 30% remains.

Well If you take in account how hard has "The Chief Xit" tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child 😂 . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic 😂.

“suggests” is a pretty weak level of conviction

I miss the OC porn and algorithms but it's whatever. I like Mastodon

The whole Musk takeover is much less relevant (in the sense of interesting) for people outside the western context. I asked a few friends in Japan why they still use Twitter, but they just don't care about the platform and ownership as long as they can still interact with their friends there. Curious how the botification will affect that over time, though.

How much did human usage drop? Because there are a shitload more bots on twitter nowadays than there were in the years before he took over.

I suspect even more than 30%, and by a lot. Nearly all of the communities that once thrived seem to be dead. It feels very empty.

This should be human usage - the user survey was done by phone.

Any time something gets too big it gets bots. Lemmy will be the same. We will see instances getting defederated who cannot manage the spam.

Fuck Elon though

It's a shame that other platforms that are growing for artists is just another monopoly one (bluesky) or defederated from everything and even bans the use of VPN to access it now (misskey.io).
