First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Twitter was fine. It’s on a single Person - Elon Musk - who bought Twitter. All changes after it were through them.

I don't think that's necessarily true. It wasn't about to collapse, but its stock was also anemic and it was flailing. It wouldn't have decided to alienate advertisers and fire its whole trust and safety team without Elon, but it was eventually going to have to do something to "monetize" users more effectively.
