That's not actually a lot.

This 30% comes after at least as high a percentage already left in the half year after the narcissistic sociopath took over.

Pretty much everyone I was subbed to was already gone, either account closed or inactive, by the time I closed my account.

And my Twitter account was almost as old as my Gmail account. I accrued a rather substantial list of people I followed through the past nearly 2 decades.

Damn, that's even worse! Holy crap. The more people leave the less viable the platform becomes. Social media networks only function when there's other people in them.
