For me it is how one person can suddenly own an entire social network and dictate the rules as he likes or dislikes. Mastodon it self is more open, the server you choose to sign up to might have content policies in place.
It's a private company.
I wonder if there's something like Twitter but a feed (RSS or otherwise) of interesting people's blog, YouTube, podcast or creative work? I feel the value of Twitter would be a feed of interesting people. But 280 characters is just knee jerk thoughts. Something to easily discover people, like Twitter, whist showing their content, seems more valuable. Right now, the discovery part sucks. It's possible to find interest…
An RSS feed, but for social media.

I would rephrase it to "political propaganda machine dislikes and distrusts Musk". It is telling that Tesla was not invited to the EV summit or that or was removed from S&P 500 ESG.
Depends which political propaganda machine you are talking about: the one that is outraged at their speakers husband being hit by a hammer or the one flately making stuff up to justify that attack. P.S. I am not an US citizen so I couldn't care less, but when "my" party over here would defend a guy who breaks into someone's home and hit an old man with an hammer because of — you name it — political propaganda I would…
If Mastodon takes off because of Musk ill be pretty amused. There is an irony to Mastdon, a more open platform than Twitter, becoming more popular because people thought Musk would make Twitter... more open.

I think that's a vocal minority. The majority doesn't care, and two equally small, vocal minority groups love and hate him, respectively
For what I see from Twitter, I'd say Twitter is the vocal minority.

Why do you feel a need to defend political propaganda? Did you not just try to show that it is instrumental? If anything I guess you agree that there is this top down attack on Musk. Well, he became so influential that shady political interests are in play.

If Elon would migrate Twitter onto Mastodon, with the post history and all, now that would be a change for the history books. It would change social networks forever.
Why would he do that. What about anything he's ever done makes you think that is even a remote possibility
Also, with its weight, Twitter would become the first popular open social network, a beacon among them. It would still be a very valuable brand.
Edit: it was mastodon.social, the password reset email just took 15 minutes to arrive… Good tip in the comments though, thanks!
