His master mind move will be revealed any moment now! The great plan unfolds in front of our eyes!

It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

It should be “User x-odus.”

I wonder if Elon takes a massive hit before coming up with these ideas

Ironically the two are only half way competing with each other. There's two buckets of twitter peeps:

A) People who keep up with specific people, reducing day by day.

B) The for you page peeps. The vast majority of people I know on Twitter including myself are there for the algorithm feeding us memes and content. Specifically the 2016-2021 algorithm.

Considering mastodon doesn't have any form of FYP/For you it's really only competing for bucket A which in my experience has reduced by an incredible amount in the past few years and continues to reduce and makes it useless to a large majority of twitter users.

Unfortunately or fortunately twitters algorithm also sucks now so there's a pretty big market gap here.

Damn, elon's really leaning into that edgelord dystopian faceless corporation aesthetic huh

I am there now and testing out the waters

I honestly can't tell if it's just a collective expiration date for a culture of wealthy incompetence, or if someone's been manipulating powerful idiots, but it almost feels like there's a coordinated effort to stir an abandonment of corporate platforms.
