      This seems misguided to me. Why not clone or rename @realdonaldtrump? Presumably people who followed Obama are not keen on Trump tweets [4/

      This might or might not be related to the fact that Twitter Heads of Product retire faster than Hogwarts Defense Against Dark Arts teachers.

      Backfill seems to be proceeding at the rate of 2-3 minutes per 10k followers, giving us an estimate of 17 days to complete the task. [6/

      So @presssec got moved to Sean Spicer, and its also backfilling. Since he's at ~3000 followers, this enables more accurate measurements [8/

      Here are my 10s measurements (page refreshes): 3246, 3203, 3162, 3125, 3084,3055,3028,2991,2953 followers. About 4 inserts/second. Wow.

      Looks like the slow backfill is solved, 3 hours later. @presssec now has the full 1.24 million followers that @presssec44 has.

      they're done backfilling @potus but looks like they introduced many bugs. See replies to this thread:https://twitter.com/support/status/822652800907800580 …

      We are aware of the issue with migrating @POTUS followers and investigating. More soon.

      Bug 1: apparently random people who never followed old @potus got added as new @potus follows.

      Bug 2: apparently if you unfollowed mid backfill, you'd get re added again by the backfill job. Since the backfill took like 10 hours...

      Bug 3: none of this is explained or messaged, so people are mad and confused. TBf though that's the default state of Twitter users so NBD.

          So looks like Twitter decided to do a hard rename of @potus -> @potus44, and create a fresh fork at @potus. [1/...]

          you need to look at reports that people that never followed @potus as Obama are now auto following @POTUS as trump.

          same for other new administration accounts. Something more is happening.
