X drops the "Trust" from their "Trust & Safety" team.
Now it's just "Safety", which is a two point score in football when the offensive team is tackled, loses possession of the ball, or commits a foul in their own end zone. 🏈
I had a Twitter list "standard stuff" where I listed the core accounts I definitely wanted to hear about. This fav list grew over the years and had 120 users in total. These were active users that in the golden era posted every day. These were the ones I wanted to read whenever possible.
I wanted to see what's the status today so I went through every account and here's the result. By "inactive" I mean users who haven't posted anything in two months or more.
20% have completely deleted their account (the list now has 95 users)
36% still post frequently
64% are inactive or quit using Twitter
30% are inactive without any reason given
23% of those who still post on X also have active Mastodon, Bluesky or Threads accounts
