> He seems to think firing most of X is a resounding success Isn’t it? I use X every day and it seems to be fine now and getting better on a good cadence.

Do you pay for X? Last I heard he's hemorrhaging paying customers (advertisers) who while publicly say it has to do with <insert popular issue>; privately say it has to do with worsening ROI (targeting).

Is that why fidelity repeatedly writes down the value of their portion of the needlessly name changed company that hemorrhaged advertisers due his personal quirky decisions and favored groups?

  It sounds like you’re talking about a different topic. I’m saying the platform seems to be good and getting better, not worse.

    Is it? I used to find myself looking at Twitter due to the large number of places linking to it and orgs posting on it. Like the local earthquake tracker on Twitter used to be great, it became unusable after musk mayhem as Twitter intentionally only showed many years old posts to those not signed in. Nowadays that’s super rare. And I used to remember seeing links to a lot of articles published as like 13 tweets, I can’t even remember the last time I saw one of those. I think some used to be linked form HN. Twitter is basically a zombie now. It’s way worse for the former user base at large. It’s true that one groups probably think it’s better, those who were banned and are allowed back for example and those who liked the banned accounts.

Is it getting better? The bots have only gotten worse. They even have blue checkmarks[1] and the company does fuck all about it. And that's before we start talking about the massive hypocrisy present in Musk's implementation of "free speech". 1. https://i.postimg.cc/Bbq0yX4J/image.png https://i.postimg.cc/Bbq0yX4J/image.png

"Getting better" how? Be specific?

  No downtime, my “For You” tab is interesting, media sharing seems to be good… if anybody other than Musk were at the helm, there’d be nothing here to complain about.
