People did leave WhatsApp. If you believe Telegram's numbers, at least 25M WhatsApp users migrated after the privacy policy change. That's more than 1000x as many people as have left freenode. But still a drop in the bucket for WhatsApp's user base.
It's more of a testament to how niche IRC is that a 20K user migration is significant.

But that number does seem feasible. > People did leave WhatsApp I don't think people joining Telegram directly leads to people actually leaving WhatsApp. I joined Signal, but am still in WhatsApp because most people are still on there.
