    I’m sorry but can’t we just leave most of them there?

    If they come to the good platforms they’ll just make them shitty as well.

    Quite frankly, at this point I really want Musk to achieve his goal of getting humans to Mars. That way, he can take all his horrible followers and leave the rest of us here so we can actually work to fix this place.

      They become shit when doing so makes them more money - eventually temptation wins. There is less temptation when a platform is open source (libre) because someone else can come along and host practically the same platform but minus the anti-features.

      Not necessarily. The main problem with Twitter is the platform itself. It encourages rage bait and controversial takes for engagement. And there’s little or no moderation for hate content. This is by Elon’s choice. If the users go to another platform, they may find that they are not similarly rewarded for harmful activity.
