Is there actually any evidence whatsoever of the rebranding that hasn't even fully happened yet is causing a "user exodus"? Why would people leave because it's renamed and has a different logo?

I closed two old accounts when I heard about it, including a business account. I don't want to be on the "X" app.

That makes no sense. You want to be on twitter but not twitter with a new name?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nobody said I wanted to be on Twitter. I just said I had two neglected accounts that I deleted when I learned of the dumb change.

Ok so someone that didn't use twitter is leaving twitter after they remembered they have a twitter account they don't use. Cool.

Twitter has so many people on it that Elon sneezing is going to create a spike in new mastodon users

The issue is brand brand loyalty. My younger siblings was looking for his Twitter app earlier and was like, "where is Twitter... Oh wait I forgot it's an X now."

That's strange since it's still called twitter on both the iOS and Google Play stores lol

Sounds like you're making up stories lol. Neither of them have updated their logo or name.
