@ii @NathanpmYoung can you clarify this

@ii How twitterlike is weibo? and was it bigger than twitter already? If so I'm not sure I'd call it a clone. And will it still be so in 2026? And do we trust their numbers?

@NathanpmYoung how do we trust twitter's numbers then, there are tons of bots on it

@NathanpmYoung weibo is quite twitterlike, probably as much as the other sites, it may even be closer to former twitter than current twitter

“Twitter still the biggest social media of it’s kind” and “Twitter much smaller but nothing bigger than it” are not mutually exclusive

@NathanpmYoung Are you willing to provide any clarification on what "much smaller" means?

How are we defining "biggest"? Number of users? Number of active users? Some other criteria?
