You missed the part where he fired the people running the place so servers are now dog slow, 2FA stopped working and scamming is at all time high. It's not left vs right, it's a shitty platform getting worse after just a few days with Musk.

I feel like we were upset about that back in the old days two months ago. > scamming is at all time high. Missed that, too. > It's not left vs right It's not, it's oligarch vs. oligarch, and I don't care who wins other than the people who had it were poor stewards so I'm pro-change. > it's a shitty platform getting worse Infinitesimally worse, within the first few weeks of a hostile transition. > after just a few days with Musk.

> not left v. right The whole Twitter furore is so obviously at its base a political one that I have to take issue with your comment. From my observations the 'sky is falling', butt-hurt, desperate for Twitter to now fail group are very firmly on one end of the cultural-political spectrum. They're angry and affronted that "their guys" have lost control of it, because it's a very important thing to be in control of. We should stop dancing around it and acknowledge that there's a political aspect to this whole thing.

  I think you're overestimating a) how many people are on the hard left or right b) how many people care about politics on Twitter. Until Musk took over, I had no perception of who was 'in control' of Twitter — it was just a bunch of useful, interesting accounts I followed, some of them with a personal connection, many of them not.
