The engagement declining over time is satisfying to see

Unfortunately could just be a product of the fact that the older ones are older.

Maybe, but the drop mostly seems to happen in the 6 months from the Jan 2023 post to the Jul 2023 post, and we know this is from at least Dec 2025 based on the top most instance, so in all it really isn't a big time difference for such a sharp decline

Idk about twitter but socials engagement is usually heavily frontloaded and exponentially decays after it gets posted or goes viral.

I'd imagine this is even more true with twitter, since I doubt people are seeking out, like, 6mo tweets to peruse.

yeah but capitalism is baked into the fundamental laws of the universe and is necessary for humans to exist, while a livable climate is totally optional.

"End climate change" translates to "end capitalism"

Hell even if climate change wasn't a huge exasperating issue, ending capitalism would still be a good thing to do.

Ending homelessness = Ending Capitalism
Ending World Hunger = Ending Capitalism
Ending Arms proliferation = Ending Capitalism
So many knock-on benefits to ending Capitalism.

"End capitalism" always seems to translate to "end climate change" 😭

I can't tell if the lower number of likes each posts reflects the decline in twitter users or a positive shift in political opinion

Depends if you believe X likes are mostly organic instead of being fabricated to support a certain political creed.

Yes, yes it does.
