Well, ideally, without the rancor.
Seriously, the Twitter-substitutes I've tried out so far are MUCH more pleasant places to be.

I can't speak to when that specific event occurred, although I'll certainly concede there was a time in which Twitter was fine, and that said time did in fact end well before Musk took over.
But even the state of Twitter just prior to Musk was so profoundly different than what it became almost immediately upon his takeover that I feel safe in saying that a slide to that level is far from inevitable.
According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion
Musk posted the bleak financial assessment as part of a rant against the ADL.
burning forty billion dollars because you hate your daughter.
Imagine all the good that $40 billion could have been used for instead of being pissed away on this nonsense.
On second thought, don't imagine it. It's depressing.

Remember the time he said he could solve world hunger for only a few billion dollars? Which, of course, he would never actually do, because he's a self-absorbed sociopath, but.
It wasn't just because he hates his daughter, it was also to show Peter Theil and the rest of the Paypal execs that they were wrong for thinking x.com wasn't the coolest and most totally extreme website name ever.
The equivalent of making a suit of power armor in a cave with scraps. He truly is the real-life Tony Stark.
Musk again looking at charging everyone a monthly fee to use ex-Twitter.
Good way to make people reconsider never deleting the app!

State actors using bots will likely pay the fee anyway, at least as long as twitter remains a viable method to distribute misinformation and propaganda. Granted, tanking the company by implementing a paid subscription across the board WOULD result in the bots leaving, just not for the reason Musk says they will.
Looking at the replies, this is apparently yet another one of those "Content creator finally reads the terms of service on the site they've been posting for years, discovers that it's full of scary-sounding chemicals legal terms granting the site broad rights to do things, and assumes the worst" things that happens every year or so somewhere or other. All this stuff was already in the TOS, possibly since the beginning.
Which is a shame because I sure do wish all the artists on Twitter would wipe their accounts and go use a real freaking art gallery site instead!

Agreeing with the desire to see people abandon Twitter, but there's a reason artists don't just use "a real freaking art gallery site instead." They want people who don't normally go to "real freaking art gallery sites" to actually see their art!
