I wonder what will become of Twitter. Will folks stop sharing as much, drift away to other community minded places, like Mastodon?
Will it become a Wild West of awfulness, pushing away all kindness from the site?
Or will it be a pendulum swing, where Elon loses interest and survival brings back a more balanced moderation?

this is happening to twitter already. and it won't stop even if Musk loses interest. but twitter is unlikely to die from user drain. it's too big, too important and it would take **years** for any competing platform to catch up if any even can. Twitter has structural advantages not easily overcome by any competitor.
I have noticed in the last week is that many people I follow went back to posting on twitter.
and #Mastodon has its own raft of issues to deal with. check this thread for example

if# twitter dies it will be because of bankruptcy.
@herid thanks for the share. Cheers!
