Did you read the tweets on that twitter? Here, I'll help you out: https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1518641966661177344 https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1518641966661177344 If someone makes a twitter post, saying that they "will FINALLY leave", I think it is fair to describe that person as being in the process of "leaving". Thus, that is fair evidence that yes, at least people are talking about leaving twitter over the elon purchase, and that this might effect user stats.

It is also proof that many people say they will do something on their twitter account and their twitter account remains. I have presented conclusive and definative proof that they have not left twitter at hte time of this posting. Do you have proof that they are "in the process of leaving twitter"?

  The thing is that it's very hard to prove that someone left twitter if you only define leaving twitter as "accounts being deleted"... as their account is deleted. That makes it something hard to prove, and if that is the only way that you will believe that anyone has left twitter there's no way I'm going to spend that amount of time digging up previously active accounts that have since been deleted

    The topic in question is why some accounts have lost followers - the explanation is people have left twitter - the "proof" is jameelajamil left twitter. We have established the account is still there - we agree on that. They tweeted "they were leaving" - we agree on that. However, they have not deleted their account and have not unfollowed everyone they previously followed [0]. So if this is the example of "what is happening" how does that action (saying you are leaving, not deleting your account and not unfollowing anyone) lead to accounts have lost thousands followers [0] https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/jameelajamil https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/jameelajamil

      Like I have said, I am not going to invest time into figuring out a way to find previously active twitter accounts that were deleted in the past ~4 days to have definite proof. I don't care enough, and it seems like it would take a time investment to figure out how to do that that a silly internet debate does not merit. I am asking you to take the step from "Many people are saying they will quit twitter and have stopped posting" -> "It is reasonable to assume that there are some amount of people who have quit twitter and deleted their account". If you are unwilling to make that conclusion, they by all means go ahead; but I think you are being unreasonable to not make that relatively safe assumption

  > Do you have proof that they are "in the process of leaving twitter"? The point being here, that you are being pedantic, and borderline bad faith. It is perfectly reasonable for someone to say "Hey, there is this person who is leaving twitter", in reference to a post of them saying that they are doing that. And you are coming in, saying "Well, actually! Technically speaking, I don't see a deleted twitter account yet, therefore by the laws of debate land, you are wrong!" just comes off as you being a pedantic idiot. The original interpretation, is a reasonable one, for regular human beings to reasonable agree is mostly true. And pedantic "well actually" people, like yourself, are contributing nothing to the conversation, and just trying to get a 1 off, bad faith gotcha on a technicality. Stop. Nobody likes you when you do that, and nobody is fooled by your behavior.

    Well I for one am glad Musk is taking over and putting horrible little people like you, who want to censor others in their place. Finally speech will be free again. Please feel free to take your leave twitter, move to canada or whatever else you snowflakes like to do.
