#Twitter used to walk a tightrope, they didn't always get it right, but they used to at least try and stay on the wire.
With the dawning of the Muskian Era we have moved to the era where abuse is considered free speech, where threats are considered acceptable discourse.
Where violence against us is celebrated.
Where we are told we aren't being respectful of the people killing us.
Where the inciters are courted and the reporters are excluded.
Right now it's hard to see any future for Twitter, what is needed is carefully considered policies. What we have is the wild mood swings of an increasingly desperate man.
Twitter has two choices, it listens to the advertisers or it becomes another failed, far right, troll farm.
The advertisers are screaming that the numbers aren't working on Twitter now and the shift has only just started.
There is no middle ground.
But I'm a pragmatist, I have to believe it'll get to a point where @elonmusk will work out he does not have a clue what he's doing and either sell it or at the very least get someone rational in to make it work.
That being said I'm spending increasing time on Mastodon and Counter Social, so as you reach your own breaking point, make sure you're following me there. 💖
But I do plan on staying until the very end, so make sure you're following me on Twitter too! 🤭
And as you migrate away from whatever is left of Twitter, add your own links so we can find you.
May the Muskian Era be short and not too painful.

@CriticalCupcake Good idea my bird app link: twitter.com/joesabin
@CriticalCupcake I hope you're right about Musk, but I have a feeling he's as self-defeatingly narcissistic as tfg. He'd rather drag the ship down w/ him than admit he needs to hire a captain to steer it.
And sub to my YouTube regardless 🤭
