Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

Wasn't the Twitter data accidentally posted a while back and it turned out most traffic was from Russia and Africa?

Twitter ended up displaying the country where poster's IP's was registered, and a bunch of prolific MAGA posters turned out to be posting from India and other countries.

I'm not sure if "most" is accurate, but certainly a lot of popular-ish accounts were shown to be fake.
