When I stopped being active at Twitter, I had more than 45,000 followers and a moderate amount of engagement (replies, retweets, etc.).

I have a third fewer followers here, and at least 10 times the genuine engagement. Sure, some bots, but most of it is genuine -- and useful.

I no longer see what (some) people I respect are saying publicly. I miss their thoughts, and wish they'd recognize that by staying active there they are supporting a dangerous extremist.

They feel trapped. They're not.

@dangillmor

You have roughly 80% of the number of followers you had before. Likely more than 100% more if you don’t count all the fake profiles you likely had following you there.
