Elon Musk massacres Twitter

My take on it so far:<br><br>1) The API access is harder, more expensive, and offers less functionality than alternatives like Mastodon, and it’s only getting worse.<br><br>2) He’s firing key employees, so there’s no one to maintain the service or set priorities. He’s even getting rid of the volunteer mods.<br><br>3) He’s firing the people who manage the servers, so they’re running out of capacity and being forced to switch to cheaper servers which are getting overloaded.<br><br>4) He’s breaking the app on Android by constantly pushing out buggy updates for some reason.<br><br>5) The algorithmic feed is getting worse because he’s firing the people who were supposed to tweak it.<br><br>6) He’s pushing away users by massacring the UI to be more childish and cartoonish.<br><br>7) He’s pushing away users by letting tweets from unsubscribed accounts show up in the algorithmic feeds.<br><br>8) He’s pushing away users by removing all the features that made it different from other platforms.<br><br>Mastodon has gotten a lot of new users, but it’s getting a lot of spam.
