This is really good news. Despite all the comments here, standing up to Must is a necessity. People like us leaving and using Mastodon is not significant, big corporations leaving is the thing. (For whatever reason) I'm happy to see people not playing along with Musk.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pretty sure there's a massive difference in both the breadth and scope of the demographics of X and Mastodon/the Fediverse.

Are the Nazis more or less courteous on X? I'm not sure which distinction you're trying to make here.

If you think everyone on X is a "nazi" then clearly you've got problems. Twitter appeals to a massive audience, whereas alternatives do not. Media outlets will go where the eyeballs are... and that's not to Bluesky, to Mastodon, to the Fediverse... but to Twitter... which is populated by people, not nazis.
