You mean it wasnt a shitshow of the lowest form of Human interaction before Elon took over?
Should just be nuked at this stage
Attempting to read the comments from any Sporting event is just a mess
Before, everything depended on whom you decide to follow. A lot of people describe it as you do, but it wasn’t my experience. I didn’t follow too many footie or other sport accounts. However I did follow a lot of political, current affairs and specialist accounts and some of them have provided brilliant insights ( links to articles and podcasts). Musk has driven these people away. The problem is they have dispersed to various less accessible platforms. Mastodon is mentioned but it seems pretty complicated to me. Separately the Dossier Twitter account which I manage has been vital in building links with fans of other clubs and with journalists and specialist channels.
@Jessie description of Musk is spot-on. My only additions to it would be highly profane.
"Every time Oleksiy and his fellow artillerymen hit a Russian target, they have one person to thank: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man."
That's as well as creating the highest selling electric car of all time, another thing that I thought was in vogue.
A very autistic man buying a social media platform doesn't really sound like a great commercial decision though.
Looking forward to "I hated him before it was cool to hate him" posts.
He is someone that shakes things up. But as always with modern times, people will deliberately forget all the things he has shaken up for the better, because of my social media clicks and likes
Musk on balance is a huge force for good. The amount he is investing in moving forward human knowledge and ability makes him a pioneer in my opinion. He's an odd guy but he isn't a despicable man like Donald Trump.
Ironically the people that now dislike him, twitter people, do so because of a lack of objectivity. A group of people engaging in biased, subjective and emotional thinking from a platform like Twitter? Who'd have thought it.

Yes it seems complicated to me as well.
Reading others' posts with different views towards Twitter and Musk on here, I come to the conclusion that maybe quite many people follow rubbish accounts whereas we follow some more serious accounts. I don't go on there as often as I used to though, purely because it's become more and more difficult to go on blocked sites on mobile phones in my country in recent years...

As an example, he has fundamentally changed the war on the ground in Ukraine due to shipping thousands of Starlink satellite communication units.
Each is around the size of a dinnerplate and enable communications, command and control, which is so important in a warzone.

Previously I could do it on my desktop (Mac, + Safari) even though I could not via IOS. Now I cannot from the desktop either.
Since the IOS problem existed pre-Musk I am not sure if it is the work of the Genius or the people who run the forum platform.Or possibly Apple...
@LoOkOuT @AFKABartram @aliwibble ?
I think you can amend the X to Twitter yourself in the link address at the top and it works too.
You're right, @North Lower Neil
Haa...thanks @North Lower Neil
Trouble is, it means the issue is Twitter related and the feature is on borrowed time.
