I wonder what the ratio of people actively deactivating to people silently never returning to the website/app is. At least 1 to 10 is my guess.

That should show up in MAU and time-on-site statistics.

Which the site should be compelled to report to advertisers.

X does seem to report stats like this to the public.

Obviously there is probably a decent amount of cherry picking of the stats to report.

Few things I despise more than an absolute number provided with no context. Is 60K a lot? A little? The usual? How much does it deviate from the norm?

Indeed. And on a site with 611 Million monthly active users, that means 0.01% are deactivating their accounts each day. 3% after a year. Sounds insiginificant to me.

There's not much more a person can do for freedom than to cowardly run once people, who don't agree with you, get to open their mouth without being banned.

I deleted my account because it wasn't fun anymore. It turned from sharing cool stuff and being able to connect with random famous people to politicized garbage. There's still cool stuff, but there's also plenty of cool stuff elsewhere (The Internet is a big place).
