Twitter under Jack Dorsey was losing them money, too. It's definitely true that most people on the platform disagree with Nazis, but where else are they gonna go? Elon's bet was that nobody would leave; so far, it feels like he's right. Seems to me like the majority of people have settled in for the long haul, and that seems to be what he wanted it for. I have never used Twitter though, someone will have to let me know if their feeds are empty now that Elon owns the site.
> I don't know... Mastodon at least seems to do a decent job of quarantining that kind of thing.
Well... it has an allow-by-default federation policy that's probably worse than whatever Twitter uses to keep the trolls out. I love Mastodon, but if you have a problem rubbing elbows with political extremists then you'll want a veeeeeeeeeery conservative federation policy.
