Deleted my Twitter for good. Recommend others do the same.
I don't know what if anything will ever replace what Twitter was.

Robert ReichThis year, bills to weaken child labor protections have been introduced in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.
America is in its Second Gilded Age, where workers – including children – are treated as expendable and robber barons rule the roost.
Max KennerlyIt's just like Les Misérables, except Jean Valjean is worth $200 billion and he wasn't stealing bread to feed children, he was stealing employees' charitable donations to fund his failing vanity project.

Jeremy B. MerrillNEW: we did an experiment to see what kinds of extremist content Twitter's algorithms can push into the For You Page. The result?
Twitter showed us Hitler quotes and a burning cross from (literal) Nazis we didn't follow.

@jeffjarvis hey man, I saw your tweet referenced in an article pushing back on the open letter to pause development on AI software.
I agree that some of the names on the list raise my suspicion (Elon Musk, Andrew Yang as examples)
However, others like Steve Wozniak and Tristan Harris seem to be good faith actors.
I think the letter is largely an empty gesture as the cork is already out of this bottle. Curious as to your reasons for opposing it so unilaterally.

Mike ElganKimmel nails it: "If you want to keep your blue checkmark, you'll have to pay Twitter $8 per month, which will enroll you in an exclusive club of people dumb enough to pay Twitter $8 a month."

Chris TrottierFor the past 6 hours, there’s been 2,000+ Mastodon account creations per hour.
This hasn’t happened since December 2022.
@mmasnick predicted that Elon Musk’s new Twitter Blue policies would result in another Mastodon migration, and it looks like he’s right.
Once Twitter effectively becomes “pay to play”, Mastodon suddenly becomes more appealing.
