Twitter isn’t dying and isn’t broken. I have also learned the Atlantic is hit and miss. The users and content is still on Twitter. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user which is a majority of twitter.
I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace when people used to log on, hangout and message each other. You used to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.
Social media platforms die in stages. That "niche group of techies" are a big part of why Twitter became what it did in the first place. It's not an insignificant group.
Twitter was never consistently profitable and these moves aren't helping, and there's definitely not going to be a savior investor after Musk. The real question is how long the company can survive, even if it remains popular in general, as that was already a big question before the ownership change.
