If there was ever a good reason to stop using Twitter, this is it.

I don't think this would even make it into top 10 good reasons to stop using Twitter.

  • A crazy ass billionaire trying to develop an "everything" app seems like a pretty damn good reason to run the other direction. I wouldn't want anyone controlling an app like that, much less Elon fucking Musk.

    • the same story applies to Wechat. Pony Ma was crazy rich for QQ and games already, he created another Wechat. Lots of ppl tried to boycott it, but network effect forced everyone to use it.

I'm fascinated with the number of users of this site who seem disproportionately invested in getting people to stop using Twitter.

  • Yeah it's so fascinating that people want an open internet rather than a small group of billionaires and big tech companies controlling everything. Truly bizarre.
