Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I wish I knew any normal people so I could give input.
Personally my Twitter pre-Elon was pretty curated. I never really "got" a big part of it unless it spilled over in other channels (I never heard of "Black people Twitter" on Twitter, only from Buzzfeed or similar). I also disengaged from US political Twitter hard after the 2016 election. So it's possible I could still be using it and swearing over bots etc. without being overly affected, but I locked my account as an act of principle shortly after he took over.
Same here - I had a very small universe curated for myself. I didn't leave immediately, but when I did, there were a whole lot more weird ads and bots and stuff in my feed. I think that I only ever saw prøn once, and I was actually shocked that it even existed on Twitter.
