Honestly, I checked out from that network when they banned me in January 2023. Never been happier

“While these aren’t precipitous drops”

I guess Twitter is still fine.

Technically if they banned you then you didn’t really check out, you got banned.

More precisely, they banned the app I’m using. I keep getting a 401 Unauthorized.

When I went legacy.twitter.com on January 13, it worked. Except that it doesn’t display any of the content I follow, so yeah… It was ciao bye for me.

So you weren’t banned or your handle reclaimed.


You didn’t think to try the app? The app clearly has a “following” timeline.

Nothing to report here. These statements from the article say it all.

“…over the month of September, traffic to the site has dropped -19%……”

“It’s not a drop completely unique to X. The traffic to the top 100 social networks has dropped by -3.7% year on year as well….”

What the article didn’t state was the percentage of dropped Threads traffic. Hmmm.

Probably because traffic to threads bottomed out a month after launch.

And that wouldn’t fit the narrative.

My handle probably doesn’t exist anymore. I locked it and threw away the keys.

I won’t go back there in any case. Not good for my health.

Oh I did. It didn’t behave how I wanted. I want three things:

• Chronological (non-algorithmic)
• Synced across all my devices
• Starts from the point I left off
