The former Twitter employee is wrong to claim that the platform was in a state of grace before Elon Musk took over. In fact, it was a cesspool of spam, especially in languages other than English, where there were no moderators to patrol the local scene. The article suggests that Musk should be humble to win back users, but the truth is that no one will miss Twitter except spambots and worthless influencers.
I'd love to hear from someone with experience about what these metrics might mean and why these metrics are the ones X is focused on. That seems like a more productive avenue to focus on for a site like HN.
