    Was disgusting before he bought it out though too.

    He just purged the grossness you liked.

    It was always a blight on humanity.

      What grossness do I like? Most of the people I follow are still there, there’s just more people doing death threats to them due to their race/orientation.

        It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.

        It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.

        What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.

        It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.

      Now I’ve only had to use Twitter sparingly since Musk took it over, but before he took it over I wasn’t getting harassed or death threats from randoms for merely posting a picture. Site is beyond disgusting and disrepair at this point. Nazi content is also getting pushed to the fore. Something is definitely up since he took over and fucked with the algorithm and other things.
