UPDATE: there is an update comment below. Each dot is a tweet.
Log scale makes the decrease a lot less apparent, but it is 5-10 fold across the board.
Edit: Just came to mind, that it isn’t fully representative of the true expected decrease. Since posts would likely be viewed for days, or weeks, depending on algorithms. Data-wise, it should smoothly-ish decrease towards today. Guess time will tell.

Not entirely, the sample size of data is rather small. But the coincidence is… stronk.
Also, getting pissy at some very far away datacenters going poof feels self-incriminating.
Seems like a pretty healthy sample size for this effect size
