Anger at Elon, for a vast multitude of reasons, is entirely rational.

#183There are some of us who are old enough to remember Twitter’s true time of “unprecedented growth.” I miss old Twitter.
Not saying that's you. Just cannot help going down the memory lane.

Bluesky doesn't. I dropped X shortly after Elon took over. Around the time the neo-nazi spam increased. I also blocked it so I can't accidentally go to the site. Nothing of value was lost. Bluesky is like the early days of Twitter and I have a better control of my feeds. [edit] I see the X bots are unhappy.
In France the left is slowly coming back to X ahead of the presidential election because they noticed they speak in a void (journalists don't care about Bluesky) and also they all blocked each other in the purity battle. They still hate Musk though. Personally I think they all suck for different reasons.
Do you have a citation on that?

Twitter is eternal; musk & his worldview is temporary.

#187People love hating on x and nikita but both the app & web experience have improved dramatically over the last year+. He's done a great job in a year and there seems to be even more internal stuff he's improved that we haven't seen.
I enjoy it now as a daily ritual of how incompetent the everything app is.

> the telegraph, the telephone, the television None of those let a random person Hawk Tuah their way to reaching millions. Seriously: x disintermediates and offers distribution in a way no other communication tech does. Granted you can always post a blog or whatever, but X's ambition to be the "town square" is a valid one and it does achieve it in notable ways, even if there's still 100 years worth of improvement nee…
The town square concept has never made sense. The idea that you have a place where everybody goes and scream at each others insults non stop is completely insane in the real world

Sure, the site is still working, but to call it improved is stretching the word to its breaking point
