What shenanigans?

When he fired a whole load of staff there were cries of Twitter’s demise. The opposite has happened: many new features added (more than the previous 10+ years?) and site stability is solid. So how is the competition “wide open”. I use Mastodon (since 2017) but I’m not kidding myself about the small fringe userbase (I like it this way BTW).

And Dorsey has just binned bsky and championed Twitter.

A small contingent detest Musk so much that it obscures observable reality.
