Nazis. That's why I left.

The US has turned toward fascism and Musk is a big part of that. He has endeared himself to the Trump administration, which has promised to institute policies of nationalism, discrimination, and authoritarianism. Twitter will likely be used as a tool of propaganda and disinformation, if it's not already. Meta is equally compromised in my view.

Easy or hard, I have no interest in using the platforms of boot-licking oligarchs. Even if they have 100x reach. (I'm not a researcher).
