Elon himself has gone really right wing, and coming out in public with some of the same hate and nastiness that Twitter showcases. There was a stink a while back because companies were seeing their ads posted next to full-on neoNazi content, which is absolutely the last thing a large company wants when they pay for advertising on a social media platform. I'm glad it's not affecting you personally, but it's part of why people are trying to move to p. much any other platform.

Wow that’s pretty nuts. I knew about him but not the advertising issues.

I do have a Mastodon account and tried to switch but the vast majority of Twitter accounts I follow aren’t currently on there.

Hopefully the other federated platforms take off - I used FidoNet and BBSs in the 90s, and the decentralised Fediverse very much reminds me of those days.
