Microsoft’s takeover of GitHub was more or less a model takeover, though (and, well, very surprising to those of us used to the old Microsoft). People had concerns, but they largely didn’t come to pass. This is very much, well, the opposite of that. If anything, Elon-Twitter is even _more_ of a mess than people had expected.

I think my mastodon account is at about 30% the following and follower count of my old Twitter account. But it’s largely the _interesting_ 30%; I stopped using twitter a few weeks ago and don’t feel I’m missing out.
