It was clear from the jump Musk didn’t understand the site he’d bought, but I’m still a bit surprised he doesn’t grasp that journalists are the main reason Twitter was more relevant than any number of other similar platforms. Can easily imagine looking back on this as a tipping point.
@normative I hope many shift to Mastodon. It’s not perfect but I really like it in general.
@paulwilson @normative it's gonna be really hard, if not impossible, to get people on Mastodon. You don't just "make an account". The whole federated thing makes it really confusing to sign up for.
