Hacker News users have been predicting the imminent demise of Twitter for a whole year now.

Unsubstantiated claims abound.
I mean, it's OK to dislike Musk - there are one or two things he says which I don't like, but there also things I agree with him on; I'm a big fan of SpaceX, and I wouldn't ever purchase a Tesla (even if I could afford one), but I'm finding a lot of the bile being spewed here a bit of an eye raiser.
There's a guy on here who complains about "getting stuff from accounts they're not following" - and that's probably because they're on the "For you" setting rather than the "Following" setting; they're basing their dislike of X/Twitter on something they are in complete control of, in other words. I just have to shake my head at that one. And even if they were on "Following" - it's very likely one of the accounts they're following retweets a post from some account they might not necessarily be following.
There's a post on here accusing Musk of being anti-semitic; I've yet to see one anti-semitic post Musk has ever made.

Predictable haters took a bite and there's a flood of self reassuring comments on how Mastodon is great.
