>Twitter has gotten super weird and toxic

This is correct but it's helpful to specify how much more toxic twitter has become than other platforms.

For example anti-LGBT sentiments are common on other platforms just like they are common in society. But on twitter people like Jake Shields literally call for the murder of therapists, doctors, and teachers who are supportive of LGBT teens. How did twitter respond? First they let the tweets get thousands of engagements. Then they removed the tweets without banning Shields. Finally they removed other people's tweets, archive links, and screenshots documenting Shields' hate speech. Jake Shields is still on twitter pushing toxic lies and disinfo.

TL;DR: Elon Musk's twitter protects people who want to murder doctors and teachers.

Yeah, IMO Musk seriously overestimated the average person's tolerance for toxic and hateful political content.

I think it was a very deliberate ploy by Musk to shift the political Overton window to way to the right.

Unfortunately for him & his backers, the political shenanigans and general incompetence left Twitter vulnerable, with users seemingly choosing to trust Meta over it, of all fucking companies. This will be case study in business school for years.
