Good riddance in my opinion. X is not completely free in terms of speech but it's better than before and better than the alternatives.
And some people don't like that.

And more importantly, independently of politics, site algorithm just got worst after Musk took over - promoting and pushing unrelated and uninteresting content. By that I mean you getting notices about a high school hockey club drama in any another country uninteresting.

- lawn 1y agoIf they do this for a "not important" topic, don't you wonder what they do with very important topics? Such as, for example, critique against Musk, Tesla, Trump, or Russia?
