FWIW I still hope Elon succeeds with Twitter. Why wish failure on anyone? But for me, not letting people post links to their other accounts was just too much.

@paulg I was very much hoping Twitter succeeds (and in fact initially only joined here because of my 10 year old https://twitter.com/boazbaraktcs/status/1589989673945812993?s=20&t=VViiWa8jW_MDxwrQ-i3xvg ) but for me a social media platform should enable discussions about the wider world.

The combination of censorship of other accounts and constant chaos currently makes my Twitter account dysfunctional for anything except talking about Twitter

“Moving to Mastodon is so easy that even my 10-year old kid could do it. On the other hand, this is the same 10-year old kid that wrote a webpage tutorial how to do it and is serving it to our home wifi from an Apache server on their Linux laptop.”
