The real problem at this point isn't twitter. it's idiots continuing to use and empower Twitter even though they know it's a problem.

Same with reddit and other social media.

People need to start owning their behaviors but keyboard warrior talks much, but got forbid they face any slight inconvience.

Eh, at least with reddit you can stick to the niche subreddits there that don't have a large community anywhere else and avoid the political cesspool side of it. And if you use it on desktop in classic mode with ublock or other similar addons, it's still a pretty nice experience, all things considered.

Twitter, on the other hand, shoves anything and everything in your face against your will.

This Musk guy is gonna be surprised face when the fascists come for him because he's a sexual deviant and a drug user.

He’s rich though so all is forgiven, remember that wealth trumps all else

Right up until the governing body remembers proscription exists

That will never happen as long as he's rich and on their side.

Russia should get to shoot down Starlink satellites when they feel like it, yeah?

I'm not sure what that means... Musk is also on their side, which appears to be the same as Republicans.

Starlink satellites have been used by the Ukrainian defenders.

Sure, I realize that. At some point Musk cut Ukraine off from using them in certain regions or for certain purposes, but Starlink was donating services until they got a DoD contract recently. Overall it seems like a complicated situation, to say the least.
