I think Twitter is the best it’s ever been. Edit button, longform posts instead of threads, better videos, paid posts/subscriptions, and more.

I’ve never understood the complaints about hate speech or content, since you choose who to follow, can mute phrases, people, retweets, etc. I think community notes is probably the best anti-disinformation/fact check feature of any platform.

I don’t agree with everything they’ve done, but Musk clearly has made a better effort on product than any of the previous management.

That's exactly how I feel. If you look at the responses to my original comment, it's mostly unclear rambling or extremely mild exceptions. "Bad incentives", "weird decisions", "needing an account". My experience has been perfectly fine. I haven't seen anything I'd consider far-right or extremist, I don't pay a cent, I haven't hit a 1000-post daily limit because I have no use for 1000 Tweets in one day, and I've found a few new interesting groups of accounts to follow (mostly AI). When I hear some of these apparent negatives, I really don't understand what they mean or how that impacts anyone's actual user experience.
