Goodbye, Twitter

The author speaks of "brand" but what does that really mean? Is the content filtering mechanism a key part of a "brand"? What content filtering does the author prefer? What is the author's brand preference? It wasn't stated.

What does any of this mean? In what way is Popehat (a law blog and accompanying Twitter account) a “petty dictator”? What “filth and corruption” are we talking about?

I get that these are all things that feel good to say but I don’t think it’s out of line to ask for actual substance here.

Whatever happened to just leaving something, why does every write need to put out a piece when they are leaving something?

Aside from that, he's recently retweeted others' shock at Elon allowing actual nazis back onto the platform along with some of the worst purveyors of harassment and covid disinformation. (Andrew Angliin, Laura Loomer, Robert Malone, and on and on).

Who would want to be a part of any of that?

Banning all of those trolls was the only thing that made it a useable platform, but now every time I logon, the top of my feed is some halfwit running a poll asking whether Elon is the bravest person in the country for bringing free speech back with 20k upvotes.
