I would imagine most people leaving Twitter is Elon related and not wanting him to profit from his Qanon shift. I don't blame them. Its not just people leaving Twitter, used Tesla's are being dumped on carsdotcom locally at a pretty high rate with numerous price cuts to existing listings. Toxic Elon has gone mainstream and not just TSLAQ.
Honestly the idiots were always there, I don't see why you'd let them bother you. Mute a few keywords and you literally never see them. On a long enough timeline all forums are bad if you don't use moderation tools (note I never see any of this). We might quest forever for a perfect internet place and never find it. But we don't live that long, and we have a good watercooler! It works well enough as witnessed by the last month.
There are only a handful of people remaining who haven't moved elsewhere and the "risk/reward" has become not worth the time. I open the app, browse for a few minutes, and close it. Its kind of nice.
Agree on your other points. It would need an insane level of active moderation that is impossible to achieve without heavy handed IP permabans.
