I was one of those users who made the move from Twitter to Koo. I think what really pushed me and several several others to do so, was the arrogance that Twitter showed to an elected government, for a legitimate takedown of accounts that were fanning flames of hatred and violence through blatantly fake reports on the ground.
This was pretty much like the Capitol hill violence - hooligans stormed the Red Fort on Republic Day and hoisted a separatist flag.
One "farmer" died when he rammed a barricade with his tractor and it turned turtle. Despite there being a clear video of this, several Twitter accounts began maliciously attributing this to police firing, and trending hashtags saying there was a "farmer's genocide."
The government rightly asked Twitter to take these down. Twitter's response was wholly inappropriate for the situation and the contrast to their actions during the Capitol hill incident was really stark.
