Let’s review what Elon Musk has done just in 2023:
- Changed Twitter to X.
- Plans to implement a small monthly payment for everyone using the X system.
- Plans to collect user biometric information, job, and education history for “safety, security, and identification purposes.”
- Brings back shadowbanning.
- Uses user data to train AI models.
- Limits replies to verified users only.
Elon has made so many terrible changes to Twitter that I can’t remember what the breaking point was for me.
Fortunately, there’s a lot more competition in Twitter-like social media platforms. Mastodon may currently hold the position as the most established platform, but there are numerous other services competing to become the next preferred place for online users.

I have frequently found myself surrounded by Twitter and Instagram users, and they seem just as deluded as they do from here.
