Changes in Social Media Landscape

The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk has significantly transformed the platform, altering its content moderation policies and resulting in a more polarized environment. Many users feel that the replatforming of extremist voices and Musk's prioritization of his posts has made the site less appealing and, in the opinion of some critics, toxic. Consequently, there has been a notable migration of users, especially those leaning left, toward emerging platforms such as Blue Sky and Threads, which are perceived to be less combative and more community-focused. This shift raises questions about the long-term viability of Twitter, now known as X, as a central hub for discussion and news.
