What are X/twitter alternatives ? I left twitter after recent Musk pro Russian statements.
One of my first jobs was working at a fast food place, and my first night on the job, I was taking the trash out, and the thing tipped over, spilling it all over the parking lot, and I just said "fuck this" and went home and never came back. If I worked at Twitter right now, I'd be thinking about doing something like that again.

Good.

No loss.
They need laid off more people now.

Yeah, it's down. Musk should stop working remotely and get back to the office to fix it ASAP!
