Eric A. MeyerTwitter learned, and Reddit is fast learning, that people are not addicted to the platform, they’re addicted to the community they found there. Ruin the community, and people will leave the platform. It really is that simple.

TᴀᴄᴋᴇʀTᴀᴄᴋᴇʀ 🐰@staidwinnow @gern @Meyerweb That's not quite true, at least not in Germany. A study found that overall Tweets written in German declined by 20%
Relatively small bubbles on average become even smaller & tweet less, which points to a decline in diversity of opinions
The bubble that was predominantly right wing has tweeted 64% more
So Twitter is basically experiencing brain drain, you might not see the people you follow delete their accounts, but they spend less time on it.
