Elon Musk makes $43 Billion offer for private buyout of Twitter

Yeah, I find FB mostly worthless these days. It's fun to post a joke or meme, or a picture of your family - and see your friends doing the same, but these days it's so full of adds, posts from groups I don't belong to, and various promotions of reels and whatnot that it just (perhaps ironically) feels empty and no longer a "connecting" place..

Whereas platforms like Twitter and Threads offer a completely different experience on interacting with the world at large as opposed to your friends or community. Despite joining Twitter in 2009 and being a big fan of it, I deleted my account after Musk's management revealed some very serious flaws (features?) that were completely obvious to me by the time the Hamas attack and Israeli response occurred. I have been on Threads for months now and essentially have most of what I used to get from Twitter - but in either application, I'm far more interested in that than anything Facebook has to offer.

I'm still on Twitter, but it's getting less and less useful/entertaining on a seemingly daily basis. I stay mostly because of the Saints, Premier League, and video game stuff because I'm not sure that those people I follow will be active on Threads or Blue Sky. There was once legit news on there, but not so much anymore. I've also noticed huge numbers of bots suddenly following me in the last couple months when I had not seen one in years.
