Linda didn't say the number of users were declining, she said the opposite:
regarding comments from yoel: "one of the things he talked about was... 75% decline in content posted to X, that in fact is not true... and there's many days where there's more content posted to X and that is in spite of our aggressive efforts to fight spam and bots"
its around 6:40, source:

which you notice after this comment the interviewer is just a tad bit upset to hear the good news
> When Yaccarino was first asked about user metrics during the interview, she seemingly wanted to move away from that particular conversation
no she didn't she was annoyed that yoel got to talk about it for 25 minutes and said that specifically while the interviewer pushed the conversation away from it

and to swing for the fences, to add to the decrease in bots, decrease in spam, and decrease in nazi content there's been a massive push on the pedophile front to remove child sexual exploitation on the platform

pre-elon there were disgusting amounts of pedophiles on twitter, and they basically went ignored for years, apparently the old moderation team like that content
