Why there is so much panic around #Musk owning #Twitter?
I see no changes here, except for numbers — a month ago several rich people were owning Twitter, and now there is only a single person left. You didn't know the names of previous people, but you liked them, now you know the name and you don't like him.
More of that, he didn't do a thing yet — neither good nor bad.
There were a lot of reasons not to use Twitter before, but they're still in place. Is Musk the only reason then?
@neonkaaa one reason that I had to have explained to me is his proclamations about so-called "free speech" translates, probably fairly, to harassment in a lot of women's minds on public social media which they might fear wouldn't be handled as well under Musk's leadership. i have no idea how well it's handled now. perhaps it's just about the tone he sets that emboldens trolls on the platform
then, I guess, to some it's just like "here's a change...I don't know what's going to happen, but it's leaning towards more shitty... let's see what else is out there"

Wikipedia:
“Panic is a sudden sensation of fear, which is so strong as to dominate/prevent reason & logical thinking, replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety & frantic agitation consistent with an animalistic fight-or-flight reaction.„
There were no reasons for “flight„, thus it looked like “panic„. Businesses in common have their representation on every platform they can handle to promote themselves. Surely, on federated platforms, you can use a single platform to rule them all.
