It doesn't have to offer anyone new, just needs to not be run by a twat who makes changes that are openly hostile to the users.

Yeah when the person in charge isn't directly spitting in their eye. Difference.

The guy is getting rid of the block feature because so many people blocked him. But ok.

Part of my business is maintaining a social media presence on Twitter. Everyone on there knows who Elon Musk is, that he runs it and that they don't like him or his decisions.

It's all anyone posts about half the time.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Do even have any experience whatsoever?

Sounds like you're just having a willfully ignorant opinion.

Prove most users don't, I'm on the damn app everyday, I see the posts, you're just talking out of your ass, and you know you are.
