- mullingitover 3y agoYes, and it’s still doing 10x the DAU of Bluesky. Every time Twitter does something boneheaded, as seen this week, there’s another exodus. The best way to predict the future is to examine the past, and the past for Twitter is unforced error after unforced error sending their userbase running into Threads’ open arms.
