  1. Utter cunt takes over: people leave. I’m shocked. Shocked! I tell ya

    Not really surprising. Article does state its predominantly progressive leaning folk leaving in droves, but I can’t be the only one noticing how horrible it performs when I try to open a link to anywhere on it.

    Half the time it straight up fails to find linked posts when I try now. It doesn’t really seem to be in a healthy place

    Doesn’t surprise me. It’s become such a hell hole since he took over. The open bullying, the racism, the homophobia, transphobia and sexism, all allowed because “free speech”. It’s awful.

    Twitter is a funny one, much like Reddit I hardly ever encounter anyone in real life that actually used it in the first place

  5. Its absolutely crazy to me that one person basically single handedly destroyed one of the largest social media platforms.

    Love the subtle jabs from every news outlet that still defiantly refers to it as Twitter. X is trash

    They did also state they were cracking down on bots and removing them.

    I wonder what percent are bots that have been removed and how many are real users, I’m sure there are the stats out there

    I’m not surprised. It’s full of shit these days and most people I know have left. Threads hasn’t really replaced it either. Nowhere near as popular.

    Despite its flaws, it’s still my go to whenever I need customer service. Much quicker response than emails and better than sitting on hold for ages on the phone.

    I’d consider myself an open minded centrist and yet I couldn’t stand the dross, bile and spam on Twitter.

    A bit weird this sub moaning about Twitter amongst its millionth daily mail article of the day attacking refugees

    I don’t know why anyone would use that platform. It was dying before he took over, and he’s just made it worse.

  12. Revenue:

    2018 €2.65 B

    2019 €3.08 B

    2020 €3.04 B

    2021 €4.46 B

    2022 and 2023 No Revenue details

    2024’s ad revenues projected at €4.32 B

    Its users increased:

    2018: 298 million users

    2019: 312 million users

    2020: 347 million users

    2021: 362 million users

    2022: 401 million users

    2023: 541.56 million monthly active users

    Employees decreased: 2021 7,490

    Post-Layoffs (Late 2022) 1,560

    2023 2,370

    2024 2,840

    It reduced its cost by getting out of multiple real estate leases.

    It reduced bots significantly.

    Some decent things happened too which I think place twitter in a more healthy position long term?

    Freedom of speech reduction not great, although I do like their ability to address misinformation below other peoples comments claims.

    I stopped using it when my main account was getting suggested posts of randomly violent videos with people beating each other up etc.
    I just thought do I really need this added negativity to my life?

    Twitter has become completely unusable, you click on a post and all the top comments are completely unrelated posts, normally by bots.

    It’s now worse than Youtube comments are for getting opinions

  15. ConsistentOcelot2851 on

    Elon Musk complains about decreasing birth rates etc, but he doesn’t seem to be creating a dating app or trying to solve the problem.

    Look at Japan, where the government have had to step in.

    The only people I know who use Twitter (myself included) use it for keeping up with the local football as you don’t get the terrible opinions that you get on Facebook. Other than that it’s a complete cesspit, my for you page is football news with American right wing accounts and porn sprinkled in. You’re a few likes away from the algorithm putting nazi propaganda on your timeline.

    i tend to agree by miles, the freedom of reach per say, is seemingly true, they even show you nobody are reading the comments lol (the few this normie makes) — i dont know if it boosts accounts when they post vs comment, or if it penalises by follows etc, its gone off the deep end with hard right politics its rumble lite, and it hasnt done anything for videos outside of a spinoff app and a couple long videos and some spaces… who knows.. a very wierd platform now, i used to be able to talk and get feedback, now nothing.. but reddit are taking the same if not worse turns. Point is get off social medias lol my mistake.

  18. It’s full of right wing Americans now and the app icon looks like a service you trade women on for niche crypto currencies.
