Yeah. Spending time here over the past few days. Seems less... toxic

It has better moderation tools; it will likely get all the same trolls, but you won't have to look at them if you don't want to. In particular, mass-blocking is a first-class feature (it never was on Twitter, and then Musk's API and other changes broke it almost completely).

The fact that it's not run by a "free speech absolutist" who actually just wants to see more conservative attacks on liberals on the platform.

Nothing, they're already showing up just to own the libs.

Twitter has been a cesspool ever since Musk bought it. It wasn’t great before, but now - yeesh.

Looks like he’s not the only one, the Grauniad newspaper announced [1] they’re leaving too a couple of days ago, because (wait for it) it’s toxic as hell.

‘The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.’

You might say: “X is right at the center of all things toxic”

You can’t just say “no you” every time you’re criticized for something.

After deleting my instagram and Snapchat accounts I’ve realized that life isn’t too shabby. :)
