Such a sad story Musk has become, even posting crazy conspiracy theories

Nothing will happen unless there is a good alternative for the masses. Mastodon isn't it. Post.news isn't it.

Twitter 2.0 is not going well with advertisers and he knows it. This is a desperate plea. Will only get worse as more controversies arise https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-n...

There's been a lot of this partisan/one-sided articles on HN recently. Sometimes even just links to a random person's blog!

We need more alternatives to Twitter. Hopefully one of them will excel. Mastodon isn't really a viable alternative for mainstream, despite what the techy crowd boasts.

Are people ok with a CEO treating their workers like this? Firing them via email or tweet? It's repulsive behavior that should be called out.

It's not that large. Some other engineer mentioned it's much less than that. Don't believe everything Elon says.

I'm afraid it's too late, HN has become an right-wing echo-chamber

These outright lies need to be downvoted. Horrible conspiracy theories spewed by the far-right. Easily debunked since the defendant has already admitted to his crimes and official police sources have submitted their statements. https:&#x2F

Yikes, when did HackerNews become infiltrated by conspiracy theorists? Can't imagine how this site would react to the Moon Landings or 9/11 or Sandy Hook shooting. Sad state of affairs on this site.

Musk is way over his head. If you view the 4chan forums, they're already plotting racist, anti-semitic content and rejoicing. Advertisers will not be happy real quick.

Yup. It's a new 4chan as of now. Musk just ruined a decent service worse than mediocre. https://twitter.com/ncri_io/status/1586007698910646272?s=20&...
