Can it really get any worse than it already is? On the same note, has Elon actually stated a single concrete change that he would make? I think the reality is that for the vast majority of users, Twitter won't change a bit.

He has alluded to making private messages end to end encrypted.

Maybe not concrete but this feels like a clear policy preference:

  Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 26, 2022

A Twitter that agrees with "obviously incredibly inappropriate" here would be a significant change.

and for the others... who wants legitimate truthful stories blocked? what does that say about them?

Elon musk has complained that Twitter is trying to stop disinformation and label propaganda. He thinks that fighting for truth is anti-free speech. So yes, it can get worse

That's a gross mischaracterisation. Twitter isn't trying to stop misinformation: it's labelling anything that doesn't agree with certain viewpoints as misinformation and trying to stop that.

I’d finally start using it!

Why?

Making assumptions that it’d be a better experience. I really struggle with twitter atm. I think there is so much room for improvement

Should post your mastodon name in your profile, cause he's bought it. Are we all gonna switch, are your favorite people who are on twitter also gonna switch? It's pretty decent, but I have a feeling the network effect is pretty strong. I just asked to open a mastodon account so we'll see.

Yes, anyone who thinks Twitter is a hellscape now hasn't seen anything yet.

It may be the end of Twitter if google or apple don't like him -- they may delist twitter.

To paraphrase Mao, "Let 2, only 2, and exactly 2 flowers bloom."
