Re: Ask HN: Should I Leave Twitter (as a user) ?
#32I’ve not seen any evidence of the most influential voices in my network moving now that Musk is running it, but it’s still early I guess.
I really value some of the opinions and discourse I find on Twitter. However, I despise Musk, his brand and vision. I’m torn, but I’m planning to discontinue my Twitter usage and evaluate if there is a successor in 3-6 months.

#33I know someone who didn’t give Tesla consideration because they simply didn’t want to talk about Musk endlessly. (And the auto drive claims…) It’s not like Facebook is much better. Google plus.. got googleaxed… You could get of social media all together. Plus I can’t imagine Twitter is going to improve. I imagine it’s a slow slide as it tries to make more money..mastodon and it’s ilk aren’t popular, though I imagine…

It's basically guaranteed to get worse what with Musk planning on bringing back more Trumpism, Covid misinformation, etc.

#34If you don't like working for rich guys, you should find a different industry, bro.
Ha. Doesn't working "for" happen you know usually "under" richer folks? Unless you include govt and non profits.

#35I just hope that they keep Trump off the platform. I‘m sort of hoping his bs is in the past. Can’t take Kanye seriously, I wouldn’t mind if he was allowed back on.
Edit. After seeing the Lex Friedman interview, I see that he is essentially an alt right troll now. Even if his crackpot theories about a Jewish cabal running the media is true (spoiler it’s not true), you’d have to think a people as historically prosecuted are doing it with the intention of protecting themselves. There’s nothing defensible or sane in his rambling rhetoric.
The problem is Kanye’s identity is now clearly bound to his convincing everyone else to do things his way, the man believes he is a prophet.
He really shouldn’t not be given a bullhorn to worsen his disability under the guise of ‘free speech’.
