The billionaires who helped Musk buy Twitter still consider it money well wasted.
It destroyed Twitter as a means of communication about science, democracy, pandemics, the law, or human rights.
It made Twitter into an unrivaled source of disinformation for the GOP, #KochNetwork, Russia, China, and OPEC.
It made Twitter the friend of every despot or wannabe despot on the planet.
It made Twitter into a platform for bigotry, anti-vaxx Qrazies, election & climate deniers, and incels.
It's very reductive to think of the decent people still on Twitter as shallow idiots.
As was said earlier a oot of networks and communities are vanishing from the platform. Guess what's happening to the remaining members who don't know how to find safe alternatives elsewhere? Or whose friends and support networks are only easily accessible via Xitter?
Many of them are victims of that takeover, I think they deserve a bit more kindness...

There are still many active decent folks with highly active networks of benign interests who have neither been targeted, or have successfully shielded themselves, and aren’t seeing the chaos beyond the hot useless mess made of notifications.
The issue is, their particular nerddom is NOT presented nor as interactive on the other platforms. They see no reasons to migrate. Media fans, comic nostalgia music comedy nerds, nostalgia not active elsewhere
