That sounds like bragging. Why aren't more people stopping this crap?

What the fuck is the other 70%'s problem?
They're bots
Or right-wing fascists
Or people with morbid curiousity like me who hop on to see the dumpster fire occasionally. Can't say I recommend it.

Ever since Musk's control of the company, Twitter (I refused to call it X) showed me multiple hate and racists posts. Basically, Twitter is showing me garbage. I now use Mastadon instead.
I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked so I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven't taken the time.

I would find it more plausible that only 30% remains.
Concerning
How could the jews do this to me :(

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.
Wasn't like one of his focuses going to be getting rid of bots? Did they just not do anything and the bots just invaded or did the bots just get better?
I think the focus on bots was primarily used in an attempt to back out of the deal. It was never an issue, especially if it inflated his ego by pumping up his account.
He got rid of like 80% of the staff. I doubt he has a functional team who can even tackle the problem.
This should be human usage - the user survey was done by phone.
Ah, ok, 27% -> 19%, an 8% YoY drop, and the numbers were obtained using identical methodologies across multiple years. Yeah, I agree, seems to check out.
Still, there are definitely a shitload more bots than there were before.

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
If people set up their own instances with 100% LLM bots how would we even know they are bots to defederate? The AIs are too realistic. Only giveaway would be the ones dumb enough to make accounts post/comment 24/7 with seconds between each comment.
I imagine the content would be bad, which is the whole reason an instance would become defederated.

You’re telling me the company that once had ads for T-Mobile and Volkswagen and now almost exclusively has ads where random bots with NFT photos advertise ChatGPT ‘services’ isn’t doing well financially??
I'm back to calling it Twitter. (Not that I'm ever on it though.)
I haven't stopped calling it twatter
Until he stops allowing deadnaming on his site, I'm going to deadname his site.
It's only fair.
I call it the x social media site
Xitter, but the X makes a ‘sh’ sound.
Xwitter (zwitter)
To the Mayan people X makes a 'sh' sound. That's the way I pronounce it. Now and forever.
Xitter, I mean Shitter. I still pronounce the letter X normally.

Xchan
Szechuan
It's such a stupid name! Everytime it's mentioned, it has to be prepend or suffixed with something so people actually understand the "X" context.
And more importantly - If you visit x.com, it redirects to twitter.com! So what's the fucking point of the rebrand?
Genius, i say! The man’s an absolute genius!
Obviously. Some people say trump should run a social media platform. More and more.
