sometimes i wonder when Twitter might actually get shut down tbh

that has a chance of happening, right?
@LittlePlanetCD It seems like its usage rates have been actually dropping recently (about time lol)
@radfordhound oh? where's this info at?

@LittlePlanetCD I'm speaking mostly anecdotally - just been noticing a lot less traffic on posts of mine and my friends.

But, I did look it up and found some data that lines up with what I've been noticing: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-traffic-sinks-in-wake-of-changes-and-launch-of-rival-platform-threads-elon-musk

Twitter traffic sinks in wake of changes and launch of rival platform Threads

Data shows the micro-blogging website has been shedding users since early 2023, not long after Elon Musk’s takeover

The Guardian

@LittlePlanetCD Looking at Cloudflare statistics, it also seems like Twitter usage actually hit a new low on July 3rd (the day Threads launched).
