What did Elon Musk do this time.

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

Doubtful, his truth social is a failure even his cult doesn't want to bother, and if twitter goes against him that could make his life hard

The only way Musk gets fired if he accidentally says no to Trump about something.
I got nothing to say here.

Twitter is also failing at this point. Blue Sky gained 10,000,000 followers after the election.

Nope. It's 19,000,000 now.

Herm.

So the Left will have their dedicated echo chamber and the Right will have their dedicated echo chamber.

This is not an improvement. It is in fact much worse. However, I do very much understand why and how it has happened.

Funny thing: a LOT of the right-wingers have been trying to set up shop on Bluesky... and are getting pseudo-banned by everybody blocking them the moment they start spewing their hateful rhetoric. Which is the exact moment they start posting, shit-stirring is the entire reason they're there.

Running theory on WHY the Right is trying to migrate is that they're realizing that they actually don't want a right-wing echo chamber. If all of the lefties disappear, there won't be anyone left to mock and bully. Mockery and bullying are pretty much all they have, so you can see the issue.

It's the same reason they wanted to be able to do their thing on Twitter with no content moderation, that's where the audience for their permanent tantrum is. They destroy every place they set up shop and make it unusable for everyone including themselves, so they constantly need to move on.
