What evidence do you want?
The majority of the staff have left. Tangible fact.
The site is having outages. Tangible fact.
Mastodon usage is significantly up. Tangible fact.
People make vague hand wavey gestures about Twitter having better than ever engagement or usage or whatever… but there are no stats to back it up, so who knows?
Come on! Compared to 6 months ago the service is empirically worse.
It’s unbelievable to me someone can stand here and go “where the proof dude??” with what’s happening.
Is it going to be gone in a year? Who knows? No one’s knows the future.
Is it reasonable to say, given the recent state of the platform is, the probability of the platform being gone in a year is now significantly greater than it was six months ago?
Probably, I would say, yes. The empirical evidence suggests so.
I’m not saying there’s a 100% chance of that; no one is saying that; but it’s greater than it was.
You have to really make an effort to believe otherwise.
