I don't know if it's anything Elon did or stopped doing (i.e. moderation and censorship) but in recent weeks Twitter has become much more enjoyable for me.

- Trending topics are no longer heavily curated and limited to big news outlets, meaning you get the actual conversations people are having about movies, TV shows, games etc. .
- Smaller accounts are much more visible. When I used to click on a hashtag like #nintendo I would only get the official Nintendo channels, a bunch of third party publishers and lots of stuff from IGN and the likes plus the biggest influencers. Now I get a ton of smaller content creators with all sorts of fan art, gameplay clips and more.
- Fewer intrusive ads. Most ads seem tailored to the topic at hand. When I'm looking at video game tweets I get ads for video games not some Chinese winter circus, garden hose bullshit or whatever
- Less clickbait and repeated tweets from bots, pretty much everything is original content

So Andrew Tate got arrested after his tweet accidentally revealed that he's in Romania, meaning if Musk had never unbanned him he would have never been caught. Elon, you genius.

Quote
Elon Musk drove more than a million people to Mastodon – but many aren’t sticking around

More than 130,000 people were joining the new independent social media network a day in November. So why hasn’t it taken off?

The number of active users on the Mastodon social network has dropped more than 30% since the peak and is continuing a slow decline, according to the latest data posted on its website. There were about 1.8 million active users in the first week of January, down from over 2.5 million in early December.

Mastodon, an open-source network of largely independently hosted servers, has often been touted as an alternative to Twitter. And its growth appears connected to controversies at Twitter. But for many it doesn’t fulfil the role that Twitter did and experts say it may be too complicated to really replace it.

Quote
For many, Mastodon may have proved too hard to port over their communities and was just too complicated. Some may have gone back to Twitter, while others, said Coffey, may have dropped social media entirely.

“Everybody went and signed up [on Mastodon] and realised how hard it was, and then got back on Twitter and were like, ‘Oh, that’s, that’s hard. Maybe we won’t go there,’” she said.

“It’s like the people that said ‘I’m moving to Canada’ when Donald Trump was elected. They never actually moved to Canada.”

I suspect the people who read The Guardian, those that threatened to move to Canada and didn't, and those that threatened to leave Twatter and didn't have a very high overlap in a Venn diagram.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jan/18/twitter-revenue-drop-advertising-squeeze-elon-musk

Quote
Twitter remains in the grip of an advertising squeeze, with the social media platform hit by a 40% drop in revenue after more than 500 clients paused their spending, according to reports.

The company’s daily revenue was down 40% year-over-year, the tech newsletter the Platformer reported, while the news site the Information said staff were told more than 500 of Twitter’s top advertisers had halted spending since Elon Musk bought it in October.

Advertising is the main source of income for Twitter, accounting for more than 90% of its $5.1bn in revenue in 2021, but clients including Audi and Pfizer are among the firms that have paused after the Tesla CEO’s $44bn (Ł35bn) takeover.

Usually their definition for the moderate left is Pol Pot while anything to the right of and including Chris Pratt is considered a Nazi.
"quality editorial standards" as defined by the FBI, Raytheon Missile Systems and purple haired former Twitter employees.

You couldn't pick a worse name for a social media platform than "Mastodon", let alone how baffling it was for the average user to understand and navigate through their fetty wap-iverses or whateverthefuck.  I still have no idea what that feta cheese shit is.   Some STEM neckbeard probably thought he was a genius for that one.

It's almost like they tried to come up with the most pasty white boy STEM nerd name possible. Like as a joke.

PROTIP: Never give your tech product's name more than three syllables. (Unless you're Jeff Bezos.)

FOSS guys are literally the worst people on earth when it comes to naming things -- so much so there's been not one, but two failed attempts at renaming Gimp in the last 10 years. (It didn't stick.)

2FA is overrated, you just need a looooong password with words that are banned in China/Russia (i.e. the mecca of hackers).

So something like:

"Xi%Jinping#Loves!Winnie@The$Pooh@Putin!Is#A$Beautiful@Trans+Women"

They will have to decide if they want to hack you or be send to a prison/death camp and in some cases with their baked in censorship they will see your password as: ******************** :trumps

Elon penny pinching. App 2FA is sync'd in the sense they both are based on the current time but there's no communication between each other. It's a custom seed applied to a clock, basically.
