Last night in the early hours, my follower count just broke 4 million, and as soon as I turned around, X directly cleared 2,000 of them—no response from the analytics backend at all. 😂

This morning, it jumped back to 4 million again. I was about to post a thank you message to celebrate, but then another 2,000 were deleted. It’s just this back-and-forth. I really want to post a 4 million followers thank you, but if this keeps up, it feels like I have to chase the pace of the numbers every time.

The platform’s operation is truly ruthless.

X's move this time is really brilliant; the number of followers is like a roller coaster.

honestly this reads like a poorly designed consensus mechanism lol — if followers are your on-chain state, x's algorithm is basically just reverting transactions without broadcasting why. zero transparency on the pruning logic here.
