> Is the idea here that people should express their criticisms on blogs rather than tweets? But blogs have to be shared on some kind of social media to be read by others too (like this on on HN).
My blog is mostly technical, focusing on software development. As far as I can recall, this is the only instance I've ever gotten "political" on the blog. It's an exception, not the rule. I was wary about doing it. And I purposely put that discussion in the addendum, because the main point of the article wasn't about Musk.
I wrote the addendum because I knew that some people would be curious exactly why I left Twitter, and also because I did feel like ranting about Musk, which I generally didn't do on either Twitter or my blog until the very end. (Before he acquired Twitter, I had blocked his account and muted all mentions of him.)
