Well, he may think he can do what he wants with the users but the rate the users are leaving might indicate otherwise.
It's emptying as quickly as Myspace did when Murdoch bought it.
I delete mine within weeks.

He definitely lost me too, and the popping up of so many twitter alternatives (most of them centralized, lol) seems to indicate you may be right about users leaving. As an aside, I think the alternatives are all doing it wrong, trying to recreate twitter without the benefit of established network effect. Nostr has a better shot because "twitter-alternative" is just one use case.
