To the people saying things like "what took you so long", I think you're missing the point. They even address this in the post:
When the ship is sinking, there's some value in someone staying behind to help people get off. That's not the same as generating value for Shitter.
As for why they did decide to leave now, they explain that their posts are being viewed by significantly less people now than in the past, so there is basically nobody left to help off the sinking ship any more.
The traffic seems well ranked still. Maybe concerns of algorithmic censorship? As an example, X.com now promotes posts from premium users, and then has an extra promotion mode for premium+ users. (Normal users are now much less visible than premium users)
Ppl on Lemmy don't get the preaching to the choir is not how you grow
