The 2022 and 2023 usage data was gathered through a national telephone survey of about 1,500 people aged 12 and older—further details and methodology for the 2024 usage data will be released on March 28, according to Edison.

What an interesting choice for collection method when you're assessing a social media website in 2024.

I would find it more plausible that only 30% remains.

The whole Musk takeover is much less relevant (in the sense of interesting) for people outside the western context. I asked a few friends in Japan why they still use Twitter, but they just don't care about the platform and ownership as long as they can still interact with their friends there. Curious how the botification will affect that over time, though.

I miss the OC porn and algorithms but it's whatever. I like Mastodon

Well If you take in account how hard has "The Chief Xit" tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child 😂 . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic 😂.

“suggests” is a pretty weak level of conviction
