Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

I moved to bluesky.

Twitter has become a far-right cesspool.

And the football side of it has been taken over by algorithms promoting the most ridiculous and hateful posts.

Same I'd deleted twitter numerous times in the last 6 months and then reinstated but noticed a huge surge leaving for bluesky this week, some big accounts I like moving over which is great.
 
I've deleted the app from my phone now, I'll kill my account at some point soon.

I was flipping through videos to see how bad it had got and saw one that crossed the line ( there are plenty of really bad ones, this one just crossed it for me ).

what looked like a genuine torture video, A bloke hanging a few feet off the ground from his hands which were tied behind his back. while someone was using a petrol powered strimmer on his legs and back. I turned it off before I could see the damage levels but it must have been ripping skin off at least..

A Mexican cartel all over body wax?
 



Feels like a big shift, 'the benefits are now outweighed with the negatives'.

I know the Guardian stand to the left politically but for a company that still cares about the bottom line it's a pretty big move.
 
Seems fairly busy, I believe there has been a huge influx over there this week. Apparently the UK is one of the fastest countries abandoning Twitter.
I left twitter a long time ago. I've not been on blue-sky but might give it a go. To be honest it's great to just not have it as a distraction .
 
Is there many posting on bluesky? Not really checked it out properly.

More than I thought. Most of the journalists, astronomers/astro physics, nature accounts that i followed on twitter are all there. I hope the football accounts will follow soon. Many City accounts are there.
 
Musk doesn't care about Twitter - he bought it to use as a vehicle to get Trump elected and become his unelected right hand man - $44bn (now devalued by 70%) is cheap if you are exchanging it for a whole country with a GDP of $30tn

Is there any public record of where he got the loans from to buy twitter?
