twitterati
Influential online posters
Twitterati refers to the influential, active, or elite users of the social media platform Twitter (now X), especially those whose posts attract significant attention or shape online discourse.
The term blends Twitter with literati or glitterati, suggesting a privileged class within the platform's ecosystem.
The twitterati were outraged by the policy change.
It often carries a slightly mocking tone, implying an insular group overly invested in social media status or prone to groupthink.
