    I’m surprised Reddit is bigger than Xitter. Is that mostly because people have been leaving the Musk project in recent years?

      As far as I’m aware, twitter has actually been a lot smaller in terms of users than you might imagine from its influence.

      It has a relatively low number of active users, but the fact it’s designed to be a centralised public forum (rather than users being selective who can follow them like Facebook) means it is/was very attractive for businesses, celebrities and politicians.
