Yeah, it sucks. But Musk has made it crystal fucking clear what he wants Twitter to be. He's made sure to push right wing misinformation, disinformation, bigotry, transphobia, etc. He forced everyone there to see an ad about a transphobic movie from an alt-right propaganda farm. This platform is now, 100% a hate speech platform, and if you remain there, you are saying you agree and support that mission. There is no middle ground. There is no way to say you didn't or don't know. It's been made very fucking clear.
Unless of course a lot of people still there agree with the message that Musk is sending and don't see anything wrong with the content. Wouldn't surprise me.
