Many users are moving to an alternative called Mastodon, a free social network platform, where posts are called 'toots'.
Eugen Rochko, the founder of the platform, tooted on Monday that the massive increase is "pretty cool".

"Birds of a feather FLOCK together" 🐦
Beth today in her job on fire!
that's a mammoth task at the weekends
Dear BBC, I'd like to point out one problem you have in your videos, it is that when you see the summary at the end of the video the episode's words are at the left down corner and the exact place you put a thumbnail of some other video so you don't see the summary and can't screenshot it 😅
Thanks for your comment. Sorry about that, we've fixed it on this video now.
@@bbclearningenglish thank you very much 😀
Following? I don't like that the majority of people follow without understand. In my opinion, before judging, we must look closely and try to understand.
In Germany there is the word "Schnee-flocken" --> "snowflakes". It's my donkey bridge 🙂
One million leave? Can I take 10% of it?
flock and on fire and mammoth. I will probably never forget the meanings of these words :) thank you
Wonderful!
I had some disorders on the previous week, so i have a mammoth job to do
What a headline! Although I don't like Twitter at all, I don't even use it, at least I can learn new words and expressions. Thanks for the video and report. 👍👍
You're welcome 😊
I'm on fire because of you're lessons 🔥🔥

This morning is so cool that my lecturer must flock all of the student to learn in another day. This makes us struggle with mammoth things due to the mid-term test is coming soon.
However, thanks to BBC learning English is on fire. So this problem is dealed with smoothly.
I never understood why he paid so much for Twitter. In 10 years at the latest, Twitter, Facebook and Co. will only be small lights. The younger generation has long since moved on. These are platforms for old people like me (50). They play there for a few years, then it gets boring. And since we already own almost everything, advertising is hardly effective (except for cars and real estate - but you don't buy many of those)
Yes, nowadays people mostly on tiktok or Instagram.
The best program to Learnin English on UA-cam
1 million on Twitter has become cleaner, thanks to Elon.
👍🏻👍🏻
This man also need that...
My friend said me that teach about English is like a mammoth but he don't know the English is become easy with BBC

Eugen "Rochko was born in a Jewish family of Russian origin, and moved to Germany at the age of eleven..." So we can see why media is trying to rise this platform

Elon selling his Tesla stock to the tune of 4 billion dollars a bigger story. This after promising not to.
Lol all of the bots in the comments section bellow is the reason Elon bought Twitter.
I once admired Elon Musk. Now he scares me.
