The @CWUnews has also been losing followers just as I have ever since @twitter falsely labelled my account as Iran state-affiliated media.

Give @CWUnews a follow.

Probably 700 people that work for BT/Openreach that are sick of waiting for updates from you. Absolute joke

Perhaps the RTs weren’t being delivered. After all there were strikes 24/25…. Perhaps those 700 followers were lost in the post.

The business model is dated and you are being overtaken by courier firms, striking only puts another nail in employees employment coffin

@dcpart

Totally agree. Compared to others I have a modest following, last week I have lost 30 followers. Something that I said? However, I now have a good deal of RW knuckle draggers on my time line that I have never interreacted with. Here since 2009, never happened before, what goes?

Yup, I had been randomly dropped from following you. It's been happening for a couple of weeks. It's happened to a number of people that I follow over these weeks.. it is disturbing....

Your mass strikes right up to Christmas WILL finish off some small indipendent businesses that needed the footfall and a reliable delivery service to see them through after not fully recovering from the SCAMDEMIC. You are losing support, not gaining it, you are a disgrace.

It bears repeating how central to life in THE UK the postie still is. Our local rounds are done by people who ask after us, smile, know the community. Underestimated and underpaid!

Another account I follow (that supports the NHS) has reported mysterious loss of followers, some at least of whom have rejoined on seeing what happened. Is this a new Twitter strategy? 😞
