Hyperbole would be saying that everyone left when it was only 70% of people…but it’s probably more like 10-20% - the Twitter exodus was even smaller than the Reddit exodus. It’s incredibly easy to avoid the bots and Nazis if you use Twitter to interact with friends

if you use Twitter to interact with friends

If that’s what you use it for, why don’t you just pick up the goddamn phone to talk to your friends, and ditch the piece of shit that is X.

  I’ll just conference call and group text pictures, good idea. I’ll also ask the acquaintances I’ve met on Twitter to pass me their phone numbers - I’m sure they’ll be OK with that! Especially at 2am when I think of a silly joke.
  
  If there’s anyone left to ask, that is. EVERYONE left already.

  I believe the vast majority of people are using twitter on phone. Or are you implying that instead of social media we should be calling our friends by a phone? Ew…

    Yes I meant talk to them. It’s what we used to do back before social media melted most people’s brains.

    OK Grampa (I say this as someone in my 50s) - but that’s not the same kind of communication that twitter is for.
    
    Back in my grandparents’ youth people would write letters to each other and send them through the mail, but the phone is good for other kinds of interaction, just like social media is good for yet other kinds of interaction.
