LOL, I'm sure they are.I switched from Twitter to Tinder. The people on Tinder seem to be a lot more friendly.
So with Twitter pretty likely be owned by Elon Musk, if you don't want to be on it anymore due to either that alone or some decision Musk may make regarding it (whether reinstating Trump, allowing pretty much anything, pay to post/use/VIP service, etc), is there another social media app (besides DP) that you would go to?
I'm looking for go to as a Twitter replacement, not really something you may already be using for a different reason than you may be on Twitter for now. Although if you plan to use that other app more because of not approving of the direction of Twitter, replacing it for Twitter, that would apply.
Obviously there is Facebook, but that one seems more personal than Twitter. There is Instagram and Snapchat (although these seem to be photo sharing or shortterm sharing apps, not really like Twitter), as well as YouTube and TikTok (although I think these are much more video based than Twitter, so different type of social media platform but still may be alternative).
Some others that are much more similar to Twitter and may become an alternative seem like they may be WhatsApp, Telegram, Pinterest, and Reddit. Most of these do have their own downsides. Reddit, from my experience, is very topic driven. Pinterest seems to draw mostly artsy people. Telegram, from what I have read, seems to be preferred by crytocurrency followers. I'm not totally sure what WhatsApp is, whether it is comparable to Twitter either. I know there is also Tumblr, Gab, Mastodon, CounterSocial, and some others as well that may be coming up. Any other alternatives feel free to share.
I have an account but I only used it once. It really won't affect me.
I mostly stopped using social media part way through the first year of the Covid pandemic.So with Twitter pretty likely be owned by Elon Musk, if you don't want to be on it anymore due to either that alone or some decision Musk may make regarding it (whether reinstating Trump, allowing pretty much anything, pay to post/use/VIP service, etc), is there another social media app (besides DP) that you would go to?

Some are saying they will leave because they won't be giving Musk any money, and he'd be the main person benefiting financially after the deal from Twitter.I think people will stay on Twitter as long as they are OK with it...not really getting the big deal here.
