It has never been "absurdly hard left". It was representative of the communities that used it (many of whom have been chased off by Musk).

- bigstrat2003 3y agoNobody was "chased off" by Musk. The people who left were freaking out and planning to move to Mastodon even before the sale went through, because they assumed that Musk would be an evil man doing bad things to the site. To be blunt: they left because they couldn't bear to imagine a world where site leadership didn't put its boot on the neck of anyone they disagreed with.
- Repulsion9513 3y agoLOL in so many ways You think Twitter doesn't still "put its boot on the neck of anyone they disagreed with"? Actually now it's "anyone they or Musk disagree with", so I guess you're kinda right. Meanwhile he brought back people who were banned for committing crimes on it while banning people for posting entirely legal content like jack sweeney. He's not a free speech absolutist, he's a me speech absolutist. But sure, nobody was chased off by Musk.
