I honestly don't know if Twitter is going to survive.

Right now, things aren't looking good.

Here is the link to @[email protected]'s report for The Verge, which is genuinely disturbing.

I'm also cross-posting everything to Mastodon, if you are interested in a Twitter alternative.

Things are not good on Twitter.
@juddlegum on the bright side, I don’t have to go to 4chan, or gab social
@juddlegum why am I not surprised by this?
@juddlegum haha wow, I better go lock my acct because what on earth.
@juddlegum everybody needs to get off Musk social. The public town square shouldn't be controlled by greedy corporations and far right oligarchs
@juddlegum followed you over, glad to see you are on here.
@juddlegum Musk has destroyed Twitter out of spite and on behalf of every fool who was angry they weren't as important as fill-in-the-blank person.
@juddlegum this is so gross. I had generally had a decent experience there until recently. Now it’s just crawling with degenerates, they are inescapable.
@juddlegum Good news, blue accounts can be suspended, too. For $8/month.
@juddlegum update: gone until they start another one for $8

@juddlegum can i suggest that you post on #mastodon and crosspost to #twitter? it’ll help the community on both sides of the bridge.

(also i love your handle — everyone i see it i read it as at-juddle-gum instead of at-judd-legum)

@kbg @juddlegum I've been following Judd Legum for years over there and never once saw juddle gum, now I can't stop seeing it!
@juddlegum What are you using to cross-post? Presumably it's not being done manually....
@juddlegum good to know I can follow you on Mastodon, thanks for the link!
