       Elon Musk continues to act like Elon Muskhttps://www.npr.org/2023/05/02/1173422311/elon-musk-npr-twitter-reassignI suspect that if Elon "reassign[s] @NPR to another company" that might actually be interested in it (Faux News?) there might be trademark consequences.Under Twitter's terms of service, an account's inactivity is based on logging in, not tweeting. Those rules state that an account must be logged into at least every 30 days, and that "prolonged inactivity" can result in it being permanently removed. I guess I should occasionally open a twitter tab just to keep my account from being replaced by an impersonator and all the historical content vanishing...Is he going to recycle all the memorial accounts too?

       @mcdanlj Beyond being Elon, doesn't this harm the whole twitter brand with respect to being an honest broker of what's going on in the world?  Please Elon or you will be punished?  My best estimate of the long term trajectory of this is twitter devolves entirely into an Elon fanboy site?I check in to twitter from time to time, but now I'm seeing the same posts it showed me days ago, and hardly anything new or interesting?  It's hard to pin down exactly what's changed, but I walk in, still don't see much interesting or new or relevant, I walk out.  That's my twitter experience for the past month or two.Mastodon is far from perfect. I've picked a lot of random people to follow so I end up with maybe a lot of noise in my feed to pick through (I'm looking at you @dgar !), but it's interesting in different ways and I feel like I'm seeing an honest snapshot of what other people are interested in, not some weird, broken AI algorithm that happily spits out endless nonsense results.Anyway, glad mastodon (and probably others) are hear to pick up the slack.  I still like the google+ vision of social media, but oh well....

       @clolsonus @mcdanlj As if the total liberal control of Twitter didn't harm its brand before Elon.
