    Three things that can happen

    1.Twitter becomes an unmoderated free speech zone: regular (well, regular for Twitter) people get tired of shitposters, Nazis, and propagandists and leave, thus beginning the Twitter death spiral.

    2.Elon’s people exercise some degree of moderation and suddenly the Very Online right doesn’t have “leftists” to blame anymore. Elon’s cult of personality is tarnished and people wake up to the fact that he doesn’t care anything at all about them. The right wing and left wing starts to bail out, thus beginning the Twitter death spiral.

    3.Elon and his buddies succeed in having Twitter treated as a utility instead of a publishing platform and the feds regulate the living hell out of content that used to skate by when it was a publisher: no pseudonyms, rules against obscene content and interstate threats, etc., thus beginning the Twitter death spiral.

    I look at the source of these predictions and realize that that none of the above happens. exGOPer though Avenatti was going to be President. Someone who thinks that is a special kind of stupid.

    Here comes the first troll on cue lying about 'though' Avenatti was going to be President while conveniently ignoring the 2018 and 2020 predictions of mine. Trumptards crying aboput RIIIGGGGED don't get to call others stupid, go back to Truth Social.

    Cambridge Analytica and Russian bot farms did their best for Trump, there are far more bot farms supporting right wing causes.

    Calling for violence, bigotry and outright trolling/threats is why not a single conservative social media platform has thrived, nobody can change that and hence scenario 1.

    Here is a post from Truth Social to make my point

    Who likes these in the first place?
    Be specific.
    Twitter is brimming with propagandists.

    Maxine Watters is a shitposter is she not?

    NAZIs? Does the Ukranian Iron Cross T-Shirt guy aka Comedian in Chief from Ukarine post on Twitter?
