There are increasing numbers of the liberal types which I follow on Twitter saying "that's it, if Elon Musk wants this to be a Right wing conspiracy nuthouse, full of abuse, he can have it" and saying they are leaving.
This is, I should add, fully deserved. His slimy "maybe he's a pedo" innuendo against his former employee, and ridiculous tweet on Fauci are more than enough reason. It seems he doesn't care if the platform becomes pretty much the same as its Right wing rivals; and he tweets with the obvious intention of getting attention from everyone, and the approval of the worst of the Right.
The problem is that the alternatives are still not ready. Maybe it's hard raising the money on the promise that a substantial chunk of Twitter users will flock to the liberal Twitter alternative?
Anyway, I hope it happens soon.
unless you are like the late great Mark colvin and send out tweets full of links no-ne should use twitter
