Curious why there are so many emotions flying on all of these places
Because it marks the beginning of a full-scale war on Twitter. Because it represents a new threat to the fediverse in the form of embrace-extend-extinguish. Because both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are polarizing figures.

It meant a lot to me when I was a user of it, but I left early on in the Elon era when it was clear where things were heading. (Here I would link you to my explanation of why I left, but Twitter is now so broken I apparently can't.) Twitter functioned for years in spite of the poor management, thriving because of the community. But Musk has in short order managed to ruin something a lot of people loved. People are still working through that anger and grief.
