It really doesn't matter a fig to me and [I presume] the millions of other people who have no interest in using Twitter or any other social media. Of course, if you're part of one of the echo chambers that does, it's probably really newsworthy stuff.
Even if you're not part of it, enough people are such that it influences culture and then it comes around to everyone anyway.
It matters in the sense I'm going to delete my Twitter account and will no longer be using it. I didn't use it much though, so it's not like it's a great loss.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying this. I’m curious about the reasons: why would the change of ownership make you decide to delete your account?
I think it's because Musk plans to un-ban a lot of... controversial people.
When the new owner immediately fires whole top management, that's much more than mere "change of ownership". It's hostile takeover. By someone who has repeatedly shown very naive approach to freedom of speech.
i guess that's the dividing question at hand. What happens when you let culture self-regulate its own speech, instead of these companies doing it on behalf of everyone like some kind of moral paragon when we all know many things aren't absolute or resolved and multiple conflicting opinions will always exist.
