Just wait

Dude. It's been 2 years. The people who were going to leave because of Elon already left.

I'm not saying the current twitter userbase 100% fully believe in his views, but I am saying that they're not leaving the platform over it.

Either they don't know about bluesky/mastodon, or they don't care enough to leave.

Uhh, the very existence of this article indicates you're wrong. Elon removed the block feature and even more users left; how can you say that "the people who were going to leave because of Elon have already left"? Certainly the group who disliked Elon on ideological grounds did, but there are plenty of other users who are leaving because they're finally deciding the changes Elon is making removes any value they see in remaining on Twitter.
