Diversity of options is great.

> Twitter turned into a dumpster fire

I disagree. I love the new Twitter.

You must like it for political reasons, because from a technical standpoint the new Twitter is a catastrophe. It doesn’t even work properly. The other day I typed in the URL of an account I wanted to check, from a browser where I wasn’t logged in, and I got an endless loop of redirects. Watching Musk tear down Twitter infrastructure over the last two years has been like watching the Notre Dame fire, except if it was set on purpose. It was a miracle of human accomplishment and now it’s a shell of its old self.

You must dislike him for political reasons, because from an accomplishment standpoint he is still a miracle.

That was the case long before Musk took over. Twitter has always been an observer-hostile site, that's the whole reason why nitter and co exist.

What do you like about it?

Community notes is really great. It's the best system for fact-checking anyone's ever come up with.
