People Left Twitter Because Twitter's Product Sucks, Not Because of Purity Politics—Splinter
When people look at social media, or other "Free" products, and note that, "You are the product," they are only partially correct.
A large portion of what makes these sites valuable is their moderation policies and their execution on those policies.
Given Musk's pro fascist/Nazi/racist proclivities, and how this has affected Ecch (Twitter), it should come to no surprise that Twitter is shedding users, and more important active participants quickly.
If your post about a child being born is responded to by pictures of mutilated babies, you are less likely to participate.
If your statements about your family or religion result in bigoted replies, you are less likely to participate.
If you are a racist only posting to other racists, you are unlikely to participate, because you are in it for "Owning the libs."
Musk's self defenestration would be amusing were it not for the collateral damage3.
