That's really too bad. I don't tweet much, maybe once a day, but I really liked using fleets, and lots of people told me they loved seeing them, in DM or @'ing: https://twitter.com/simonsarris/status/1415370626303504389

I want my timeline to be mostly thoughts and nice photography that people can go look at as they please, and I don't want to pollute it or waste follower's time with one-off stuff (like making pasta every night, or some weird looking bug, or funny sign, etc). Fleets allowed for that really well. I think its a mistake to look at how Big Accounts are using them and make decisions from there.



What is a baseline for tweets per day per regular user? One tweet per day means 365 per year, it looks huge to some people.


Some "extremely online" people can tweet that much in a couple of days (I made software that measures it, to identify whom to mute or stop following altogether).


I'm not sure about regular user, there's a huge spread. I see most big accounts tweet 5-10+ a day. 10x that for media people.

Paul Graham tweets about once per every other waking hour (though sometimes not for days). Patrick Collison tweets every 2-3 days.


For real, my tweet rate is less than once per year, yet I still regularly use the app just to follow some interesting people.
