There’s probably a sociology theory that would apply, but my guess would be a loss of 33% of active users over the course of 6 months.

the death spiral is in progress, elon's just rich so he can pay bills (or let leases go resulting in eviction...) for a while

It isn't so much a spiral as it is a series of 90 degree turns.

When the “large” voices leave in significant numbers - in the UK it is used wildly by public sector and charity organisations, there are official governmental Twitter accounts, all the broadcasters have accounts.

Really wish I could convince local government entities to switch to Mastodon - my local police said it was “subject to O.P.R.A.” and needed to meet retention rules (if you rolled your own…), and the state wildfire commission said they were looking at Threads :/
So instead, both are still stuck on the platform that requires a login to see posts and filled with nazis.

I think Threads federation may actually help with. I’m trying to persuade a health body at the moment to switch from Twitter and to roll their own Mastodon instance, based on the fact that what they really want is the widget on the website, control of their data and the ability to reach people.
Twitter has already screwed the widget with the login/authentication requirements. If
Threads actually allows its users to see Mastodon posts, that’s a big old reachable audience.

Like when a US President was banned? Was that an example of those “big voices” leaving the platform?
