Citation needed. I know tons of people who have chosen to leave Twitter since Elon took over

Objectively, if Twitter is banned in your country, you were not given a choice in the matter.

Your response is a non sequitur; adding on to GP’s comment, countless people have left voluntarily and are easily findable on mastodon and bluesky, refuting GGP’s comment.

5 tons / average American = 24 people?

This is an underrated comment. I laughed out loud.

That wasn't the claim. The claim was that people aren't leaving voluntarily, which simply isn't true. Lots of people have voluntarily left Twitter since Musk took over (About 23% DAU, a ~50 million drop) and that's before Brazil banned it

That people are also leaving because of twitter being banned in their country isn't relevant to the original claim

If the government bans a service and forces them to leave, that isn't people CHOOSING to leave the service.

That is being FORCED.

This isn't about you and your friends that hate Elon leaving for other platforms.
