I barely used Twitter before it became X, and I barely use it now. But before and now, I noticed the same thing in the dev circles I'm in (the Node/JS world): * Immense hubris surrounding tech stacks/frameworks of choice, to the point where people outright lie about competing technologies * Framework authors' non-stop boasting and clickbaiting about their tools or new shiney $599 courses (it's marketing, I get it) * Extreme prejudice against people who have differing political views; political arguments are basically unavoidable on Twitter/X no matter who you follow -- and they are never productive * People moral posturing about leaving Twitter/X for Mastodon when Elon took over. Of course, none of these people ever stopped using Twitter/X because it would have cost them their followers. It was pure lip service. I saw really nasty behavior by noteworthy folks in this circle (people who work at Google/Meta/Vercel), and I know these people are smart, but it made me think that Twitter/X just brings out the worst in people, and I don't think Elon taking over really made that much of a difference in the content (at least in my experience).
