On Mastodon, there's two groups of people:
1. Those who want to recreate Twitter
2. Those who want to bury Twitter, then pave over its grave
I'm of the second group.
Let me go further: my problem with Twitter isn't Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is just taking Twitter to its logical conclusion.
No, my problem with Twitter is that it's centralized social media that funds itself through surveillance capitalism.
And THAT is why Twitter needs to be dead and buried.
And Twitter isn't alone in my contempt.
The following social media needs to be dead buried too:
* Facebook
* WhatsApp
* Instagram
* TikTok
* YouTube
All of them are awful.
All of them need to die.
So lets kill them off by a) producing content that is varied and going to get people here
b) promoting the fact that making huge profits off your data is not something that will happen
c) creating a place where people can make money from posting their art or creativity BUT it is more of a place for the smaller creators too
d) make running services cost effective so those that run services are actually able to live, buy food, clothing, pay rent etc
