What shenanigans?
When he fired a whole load of staff there were cries of Twitter’s demise. The opposite has happened: many new features added (more than the previous 10+ years?) and site stability is solid. So how is the competition “wide open”. I use Mastodon (since 2017) but I’m not kidding myself about the small fringe userbase (I like it this way BTW).
And Dorsey has just binned bsky and championed Twitter.
A small contingent detest Musk so much that it obscures observable reality.
- foinker 2y agoI consider myself a Musk detester, and you're definitely right that all those calls for Twitter/X's death were wishful thinking at best. But I don't think that these supposed new features have anything to do with the continued use of the site (stability being solid is the baseline expectation so congrats I guess?) Lot's of people deleted their accounts forever in the past 2 years and were replaced with crypto shills, bots, and propagandists (it's all the same to Musk). Everyone else stayed because of inertia. The site will continue to be one of the most popular in the world largely because people don't want to "redo Twitter" on a new website. It really doesn't matter what Musk does.
