@ChrisMayLA6 And now its rotting corpse is a repository of lethal pathogens.

@ChrisMayLA6 Thank goodness I left that hellscape by deleting my account. Musk has made it even worse now.

@ChrisMayLA6

It's bleeding snuffed it.
It has gone to meet its maker
Its pushing up the daisies

The only reason it didn't fall off its perch is because it was nailed there.

@ChrisMayLA6

I think the conversation went something like this...

@ChrisMayLA6 have you read Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter
Book by Ryan Mac? I've just listened to the audio version. It's worse than you could possibly imagine (& I imagined it to be pretty bad!) It has to be said though; Jack Dorsey doesn't exactly come out of it smelling of roses either. It's not as though Twitter wasn't a dumpster fire before Musk took over. It's simply that Musk turned it into a raging inferno.

@Annekin

In my pore-retirement mode of reading it would have been in the pending pile, but nowadays I only read fiction & art history - I spent a quarter of a century reading politics and economics books & I just can't face them anymore - but I enjoyed your summary 👍 😀
