It’s the same with Twitter. Apparently it has gone really right wing since Elon took over. But I’ve not noticed as I mostly follow football, tech, and music stuff.
Elon himself has gone really right wing, and coming out in public with some of the same hate and nastiness that Twitter showcases. There was a stink a while back because companies were seeing their ads posted next to full-on neoNazi content, which is absolutely the last thing a large company wants when they pay for advertising on a social media platform. I’m glad it’s not affecting you personally, but it’s part of why people are trying to move to p. much any other platform.
Wow that’s pretty nuts. I knew about him but not the advertising issues.
I do have a Mastodon account and tried to switch but the vast majority of Twitter accounts I follow aren’t currently on there.
Hopefully the other federated platforms take off - I used FidoNet and BBSs in the 90s, and the decentralised Fediverse very much reminds me of those days.
