FWIW, I can't recall seeing Elon except as retweets. The downsides are the bots, the exodus, and the stupid renaming, but it's been almost entirely improvement to me.

I was pretty tired of Mastodon and thus happy to return when Elon bought it.

ETA: I use a preferred subset of my follows for my main feed, a few subject-delineated lists for particular research, and occasionally my "following" feed to branch out.

I had to block his account to not see one of his posts at the top of my screen every time I logged in. I was a casual user and didn't follow anyone (only started logging in when it was impossible to see anything otherwise), so I had what could be called the "default" experience.

I got Elon tweets in my notifications, despite having him blocked. That was the last straw for me.
You honestly belive Musk does not boost certain tweets?

Do you remember this story??
