Y'all are acting like Twitter wasn't incredibly broken before this. Uncountable bots spreadnig dangerour disinformation, little real or consistant moderation, and algorithems that lead people into more and more conspiracy/facist/far-right shit.

There is literally no way that Musk can make it worse than it has been over the past 5 years.

If he's able to accomplish some of the goals he's set then there's a chance it's a better platform. If you make every user authenticate, and use a real ID instead of a rando-username, and get rid of bots, then things would be far better. Most people would be far less willin to do the terrible things that already happen on twitter if their real name was showing up on the screen beside it.
