    Quelle surprise. But Musk hasn’t really messed up much, yet. Twitter has always been extremely uncommunicative.

    Other than being a swamp of data collection, manipulation, and propaganda what is there to talk about Twitter?

    I really don’t understand why people are so upset now. Marketing (sorry, Social Tech Media) Giants are not to be trusted whatever mogul or oligarh is in power.

    As a person who never used Twitter, because of the incoherent, choppy content was posted there, not to speak about the privacy concerns, I don’t see any reason why Twitter is radically worse with Musk than it was with its previous owners.

    People don’t need social media at all, at least not in that format.

      @verzyanim @Greenpepper I found the tweet character limitation too constraining and only suitable for political sound bytes or the use of pre-defined labels. It’s impossible to discuss complex issues with that limitation. Mastodon is far better.

      Yeah he’s a shit just like all the rest. The difference is that he’s also a narcissist, so he is making more people aware of what people like him are really like.
