As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.
I’m starting to believe Elon never cared about twitter. He only bought the userbase and is doing whatever with it. That’s sad. Twitter is just not what it once was.
I think that’s it. His vision is to try and make a WeChat competitor. As much as I hate it, I fear that if he can string along the investors for long enough he could actually maybe make it successful if he adds everything else to it.
But the Fediverse is growing too which is better. Let Musk and Zuck have their dick measuring competition and let’s build something better over here!
Elon bought Twitter by accident, he’s stuck with it. Chances are he’s either playing with it until it implodes, or he’s turning it into something else entirely with the benefit of an existing user base.

It’sstrange to me to see people waxing nostalgic about Twitter when it’s always been a cesspit.
A consistent cesspit that wasn’t dying because of management’s stupid decisions and that was enshittified slower than other services
I never used it. I just mean, the blatant transformation of the platform (going from twitter to X) and so on. I know it meant something to people.
