Elon's purchase and then (mis)management of Twitter has been recurring, mainstream news virtually everywhere. This is hardly some fringe HN type focus, it is literally everywhere. Everyone has seen the dramatic change in the quality and features of the site. Twitter has a massive amount of "lock in" effect, however. If it didn't Musk would have killed Twitter ten times over now, but somehow people always rationalize things getting much worse. With some of the newest change a new wave of Twitter refugees are hitting Threads, and it's comical, if a bit sad, how often their first tweet is citing their Twitter follower-count, seemingly obligating the Threads community to match it to keep their interest. Eh.
