There's also the critical point where enough people leave that even the holdouts start bailing and it has a ripple effect. I think July is also when Blue sky etc started coming up

I like to think the negative numbers imply that they're not only not using Twitter but also ignoring Twitter as hard as they can that it cancels out active users

As more users leave, the average number of unregretted userseconds per user will only go up, so Musk stays #winning

Also man I didn't realize snapchat was still a thing because I pretty much never hear anyone talking about it anymore

It's an increase or decrease losing 20% of your userbase in a year is horrifying.
"that was just bots, these other platforms are inflating their numbers" - what Elon wants you to think.

There was a period in the UK of the government whining to the press that it couldn't crack whatsapp, trying to build public support for a backdoor

or maybe that's just what they want you to think?!!

Funny you should mention that.

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/the-uks-controversial-online-safety-act-is-now-law

The theory amount the UK crowd was the Government backed down on the "give us the keys to WhatsApp" as they were worried that the next Public Inquiry could use it to get politicians WhatsApp messages.

Not like now where during the Covid Inquiry the PM just says he didn't know how to backup his old phone and it's all been lost.

Literally everything they've promised to add to Twitter is poo poo Facebook Messenger has done for years

Except messenger just stopped handling sms text messages. Which is loving stupid, it's like half as useful now because I've gotta check yet another app to deal with messages.

Seriously dumbfounded in why they did that. Inexplicable on a Muskian level

I mean thats defiently part of it, but musk kinda hosed the site so bad by loving advertisments and users leaving, it will probably have way less influence on the election, like it will obviously be bad but its clear that its probably not gonna help the chuds as much as they wish.

I still think it has massive influence. Every news report is basically just embeds of what politicians and hacks said on EX DOT COM - or didn't say because it got taken down on the internet and how else is a modern journalist supposed to find a story?

I think it has to do with some changes to how texting works earlier this year. I know we don't use SMS (texting) at work and they really wanted us to fill out this form and pay money and really didn't like that I kept checking turn SMS off on our account (they eventually did)

I bet it's related https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-391800A1.pdf
