It's the most idiotic funding cycle too. The remaining advertisers still sink money into that cesspit because just enough people (half are bot accounts, granted) are still using the Xitter. It really needs to go the way of Truth Social and fail in the most embarrassing way. 
 @31e7b085 Exactly. It should become just like the other nazi strongholds. Insignificant.

Honestly, I wonder how fast the Xitter would truly bomb if, say, Taylor Swift('s people) set up her own Mastodon instance and invited her millions of fans to the Fediverse.

*(I know some people here poopoo the idea of celebs joining because "anything popular in the mainstream must be bad" or whatever, but the inertial mass of fandom cannot be underestimated, and celebrity role models are a thing, for better or worse.)
