Nearly every Elon tweet lately is an advertisement for decentralized social. His takeover of X is the main reason I became a daily Farcaster user. There are likely millions of users there who want to leave for the same reason but don't know where to go.

Started with his hypocrisy about free speech (see links) but has only gotten worse now that he's promoting & funding a wannabee authoritarian with zero moral compass. https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/14/23600358/elon-musk-tweets-algorithm-changes-twitter https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/journalists-who-wrote-about-owner-elon-musk-suspended-from-twitter

on the free speech issue, do you think his banning of the jet location guy outweighs everyone that was previously banned and got restored? just trying to understand how the musk takeover's been a step backwards for freedom of speech.

Well I also think free speech absoluism is a childish idea. We all have limited attention, and lies travel faster than facts, so unlimited speech means unlimited ability to steal other people’s time, which limits their speech. Elon has personally spread a lot of conspiracy theory BS in addition to bringing back professional grifters so I don’t think he has improved free speech at all.
