Why would they "take it down" when anyone with even a modicum of business knowledge would assume a better replacement would be created and take it's place. This making the next version of Twitter even harder to control.

Taking it over and controlling the content on it is/was the smart play, especially if you're going to fork over the $ to buy it outright.

Stop trying to justify Elon's shit business decisions. He can just be a fucking moron that got lucky with a few strategic purchases.

You have to make a decision. Either he's incredibly incompetent and incapable of accurately quoting one of the most basic stats a govenor should know about their own state or he lies so much that he's completely incapable of telling the truth, no matter how stupid the lie is.

Same. WTF. I miss my beautiful curated Reddit porn collection so much.

I literally travel with a roll of black electric tape for this exact reason.

This is what I think needs to happen for the tipping point to occur.

It looks like people have done a good job building out the "Top 100" (minus all the duplicates across the various instances) but now it's time to build the next 1,000 subs that give people a place for the more nuanced said that once made Reddit great.

Same.

Just use Connect for Lemmy on Android. It's pretty good till boost gets here.
