Congratulations, Katy Perry, you survived the Great Twitter Purge of 2018.
Despite losing 3 million followers, the singer remained the biggest account on the platform, with 107 million followers overall, following Twitter’s removal of “locked” accounts from its follower counts.
Twitter explained Wednesday that locked accounts are different from spam and bot accounts — two other issues that have plagued the platform — in that they are usually started by “real people” but that the company is unable to verify they’re still being run by their initial creators. The company started axing them on Thursday, and several major accounts saw several million followers vanish in the process.
