I think we're seeing the demise of Twitter.

FB has been struggling recently and I think Elon's plans sound like they'll drive users away from the platform.

What's the next big platform??

How is Facebook funding WhatsApp? It has become (nearly) indespensible across business, community, social, voluntary, family etc etc

I assume they are data mining off users in terms of habits etc

I think so too. Well done to plastic face Musk.

I despise Twitter and how people use it, but as a real-time news source it's by several distances the most important and useful social media platform (WhatsApp isn't social media) and it will be around longer than any of us will be. Even though it's unlikely ever to be profitable, for the speed at which it churns through every single topic imaginable makes it exceptionally difficult to target with advertising.

The only difference with twitter from 3 weeks ago  is the content is not moderated by a bunch of 20/30 year old progressives which is a good thing , the fact most of the people  outraged by musks takeover probably drive teslas makes it more delicious .

The fact that the Taliban and the Ayatollah of Iran are allowed on Twitter, yet Trump is not shows how ridiculously political Twitter leaders became in later days.

Twitter is very left skewed and over populated with woke shite. Probably safe to say it's a safe haven and soapbox for extremes on left and right

It's a reflection of a polarised society .
There are culture wars everywhere to keep people divided. This stops any kind of progress. The North is a fabulous example but you also have Brexit, Trumps vs Dems, Migrants, Trans vs women , Abortion, Guns, CNN vs Fox etc. It's all bullshit.
