For people worried about their following on X / Twitter, it's really truly not worth it.
I've left behind 74K followers. I don't miss having my content on there at all, and it has clearly *not* affected traffic even in the slightest bit.
It's been a week since my last content posted from the website to X, so I have a pretty good look at traffic now, there was literally *no* drop-off, and the first few days after leaving X traffic went up 🤷
