No one should use this platform until it returns to something more balanced / free speech akin. It is weird that official organisations and smart people stil use it for work; sure it has all the users, but that's not how you change things; by thinking 'yeah sure its bad, but it's good for me so he'. I know, I know, utopia which is never going to happen as literally everyone thinks like that.

It doesn't have "all the users" and anyone interested in reaching all the users will find they must be multi-channel. They also don't need every channel to reach all the users since users are themselves multi-channel.

It is always the excuse of not leaving here.

That's a very original line of inquiry!

From the article, this is _over 10%_.

Good riddance in my opinion. X is not completely free in terms of speech but it's better than before and better than the alternatives.

And some people don't like that.

I think what the Europeans don't like is that it's Musk-adjacent, and therefore smells worse in the EU than in the US.

I agree in the good riddance. I hope the rush to the exits speeds up. It can only be healthier for the individuals and society in general.

It is neither better nor more free. The moderation moved from slightly right wing biased to strongly right wing biased.

And more importantly, independently of politics, site algorithm just got worst after Musk took over - promoting and pushing unrelated and uninteresting content. By that I mean you getting notices about a high school hockey club drama in any another country uninteresting.

Musk massively limits the scope of political statements directed against him:

It has gotten much worse in terms of speech suppression. https://www.thefire.org/news/twitter-no-free-speech-haven-un...

So trans/bisexual etc words are "hidden". Okay, that's not good, but honestly I don't think that's the most important topic.

If they do this for a "not important" topic, don't you wonder what they do with very important topics?

Such as, for example, critique against Musk, Tesla, Trump, or Russia?
