i hate social media so you're not going to get a positive answer out of me, centralizing everything is a big mistake and seeing how quickly everyone gets into a frenzy once a bad person gets a hold of the site is proof of it
besides maybe not much will change, idk what discourse is happening on twitter rn but elon probably has profit in mind so i dont think hell want to do something too drastic we'll see
the world's richest troll buying one of the biggest social media pages is not at all concerning to you?
of course it's concerning because he's a cringe idiot but the great thing with social media is that we literally do not need it to survive. other platforms will always exist and journalists lived just fine before twitter was a thing, anyone smart won't put all their eggs into one basket.
if elon musk somehow got control over the Whole Internet (tm) then yea, i'd be concerned. but twitter is already a platform with many dangerous people, a lot of misinformation etc so nothing of value was lost. could this set a bad precedent? mayhaps, but if you're implying that only "good" people that don't go against the public wellbeing and have 0 agenda have been controlling the major platforms so far, you're wrong. elon is just a moron publicly
you don't need it to survive, no.
