>A "heavy tweeter" is defined as someone who logs in to Twitter six or seven days a week and tweets about three to four times a week, the document said.

I wouldn't call that notably "heavy" tweeting...

They must be differentiating between people who Post, and people who mainly Reply to posts and in threads.

But even still, the number of people I know that Post more than 4 times a week surely outnumber those who don't. By quite a lot, too.

I bet that puts you in the top 1% of activity.

I'm not surprised. I post there sometimes for professional reasons, but I never browse or interact with anyone anymore.

Reasons:

- increasingly irrelevant content. Most of my feed is garbage from people I don't follow, or want to

- trash UX. Way too many distractions, sidebars, notifications, etc.

- pervasive toxicity

If Musk gets them, they'll probably be 4chan within a year, and I doubt they'll have much of a future from there.

It's sad. They were, at one point, a good community.
