So I posted a bit on Twitter about going dark there for the foreseeable future. I said that it's not all about Musk's changes, and that's true.

But it's also not NOT about them.

The decision to bring Trump back was a big motivator for me to get off the train. But not for the reasons you might think. 1/

@poniewozik Great thread, but I have some doubts about how long the cash register will keep ringing. Twitter was already toxic before Elon took over, but since he took over, the vitriol is something else. The free-for-all nature, and knowing that Twitter could not moderate even if it wanted to (because it fired the moderators), will not attract nor keep advertisers for long.
