Drop In Twitter Follower Count

In the past, several Twitter users faced the issue of drop in follower count on a regular basis. In this context, Musk responded to a query from a user who complained of shadowbanning and ghostbanning. Catturd, a Twitter account with around 8.50 lakh followers, said his follower count continued to drop. Many a times, users complained of restrictions including regular drop in number of followers. Elon Musk reacted to this saying will be digging in on the issue.

“As of now, I am still shadowbanned, ghostbanned, searchbanned, and Twitter removed 1200 followers today – as usual.”

The potential resolution to Twitter shadowban goes in line with Musk’s larger vision to create a common digital town square in future. Musk said he wants Twitter to be ‘warm and welcoming to all’. Overall, he wants to turn the platform into a less restrictive platform, including to solve the Twitter bots issue. Meanwhile, it is reported that Elon Musk will become the new chief executive officer of Twitter.
