Twitter has never been more fun, useful, and engaging for me. I signed up for an account after years of refusing to do so after elon took over

Then, if I may ask, how do you have an idea of what it was before?

  I was a lurker before, I read twitter all the time with out an account. It as a pain because they kept trying to force you to create an account so I kept having to find ways around their account signup walls which was fun...

    What's funny is they no longer try to force you to create an account. I used to use nitter.net to browse someone's history, but now I can do it on Twitter apparently with no restrictions.

What specific communities have gotten more fun for you since Elon took over and what is making them more fun? Genuinely curious.

That's because you're a right wing troll, no? You're exactly the target demographic Musk is rolling out the red carpet for, so it stands to reason you're having a great time with it. This clearly doesn't refute the OP though. Will certainly be interesting to see if there are enough of y'all willing to shell out $8/mo to have your speech boosted above the free variety to make up for the lost ad spend of the Pinochet-helicopter-meme-adverse.

I am an independent libertarian that strongly believes in free expression, beyond the idea that only governments can censor people. >>speech boosted above the free variety to make up for the lost ad spend I think the reduced ad spend is temporary and in some ways unrelated to Musk whom they have used as an excuse to virtue signal for something they were already going to do in the first place Also I think the plans are to expand twitters revenue model beyond Blue and ads so it will be more interesting what Elon plans to expand twitter into
