I highly doubt that.

You can count me in the one percent then. :)

Seriously though, lots of people don’t use Twitter. Of my friends, only one has a Twitter account, and he’s switched away since Musk took over.

*raises hand* I've also avoided Twitter entirely, except where someone was linking into it from outside.

In the beginning I felt the original length-limit fundamentally doomed it to a certain kind of not-so-valuable conversation. I mean, hell, even this quick comment here is already ~381 chars. I know the limits have been raised, but I think its effect on the culture remained.

Projection probably. I use my twitter account so seldom, I'm definitely in the 1%.

But then, I'm probably in the 0.5% who if HN happens to be down, will check back the following day instead of worrying.

Never had a Twitter account. Never saw the appeal. Mostly annoyed when occasionally asked to read long-form writing split into multiple tweets. Now I never have to worry about that again!

I've never had a twitter account...

That's an extreme overestimate
