#2Many large accounts are empirically reporting sizable changes in their following, changes that track with their political views. The tweet in question has a lot of data to show but doesn't provide an explanation for the changes.
Thoughts?

#3I stupidly checked out twitter today, risking getting sucked in.
So many accounts came back today that I didn't realize were gone/banned.
So many people posting covid misinformation today without worry about censors?
Flipside, wow so many others are quitting? It's not that they hate free speech; they've had it. They hate that other people now have it.
Free speech shouldn’t involve politics, but one side sure is upset over someone protecting it right now.

#4Bunch of people who left twitter came back to see whats going on today, most are conservatives, and are following conservatives.

That does not make any sense. Suppose I was upset that other people now have free speech; how would me quitting twitter affect it in any way? If I really wanted to somehow (what whatever reason) prevent others from having free speech, how would me closing my twitter account achieve that?
The reason I closed my twitter account yesterday is because I dislike Musk and do not particularly want to participate in his social media platform.

#6The new numerology feels like science doesn't it.
Just find numbers, and demand an explanation of .... the numbers you found? But really imply some nonsense and demand a refutation of the nonsense you created.

They really don't want to see what the censored people have to say.

That seems fine with me.
I generally dont do social media. Best to stay away.

What I'm wondering is why it even matters. Is a twitter follower count important for anything?

People hate nazis and fake news… that was the only thing being censored: hate speech and fake science.

And yet somehow the CDC, Fauci and the rest of Covid Inc. persisted just fine. I guess the jihad against fake science didn't go far enough.
