My favorite part:

But while his reaction the day after learning that X was commandeering his handle was extreme frustration, Vaught told Ars that the platform will remain his primary form of social media.

"it's highly annoying, but Twitter is still my preferred social media," Vaught said. "That's how I communicate and learn my news about what's going on. Nothing else compares."

His only "minor protest" to X's action, he said, was to cancel his Twitter Blue subscription.

Vaught is mostly a Musk fan, as he's interested in Musk's electric cars and space developments. He said that this experience with X hasn't tainted his opinion of Musk or his relationship too much with X as a platform. He's holding out hope that Musk has a long-term plan for where Musk is taking X, but like many users, he's struggling to adjust to the rebranding.

What stockholm syndrome does to a mf..

nothing else compares

Guarantee my guy tried 3 other websites before calling it quits

where he gets his news from. Nothing else compares

Uh... How about an actual news site? Maybe the NYT for example? I'm guessing they use too many words he doesn't understand.

Also they are part of the conspiracy to follow the rule of law and not elect the glorious leader.

I’d be equally concerned for anyone who uses the NYT as their primary news source.

Yeah, parler, gab, and voat…

I went on Gab once. They were all accusing each other of being feds (Terry Davis style)
