Hot take: Elon Musk turned up the heat too quickly and the frogs escaped before he could boil us. That impetuous impatience may have killed Twitter but saved democracy.

@jentaub Twitter will end up in the trash heap of history with AOL chat rooms & Napster

It won't happen overnight, but it's already started and it was inevitable

Big public figures, sports, TV shows, etc, are reluctant to start all over but they could build their followers back up over here at Mastodon in 2 weeks

@countyorange2030 @jentaub i feel like the internet thrives on the start/rinse/repeat cycle of life. Little blue bird is just another of these and while it lasted quite awhile it was overdue, people are lazy they go with what’s normal, but the “hive” mind (no pun intended) thrives on change. I think this is a good thing! People will come around to change. It’s like the Titanic, people didn’t think it would sink either, but when the waters rushing the deck they’ll grab a lifeboat (mast).
