Even if it was free, I wouldn't use it. I'd rather not waste hours of my time in there. And yes, I had that opinion before Musk bought Twitter and renamed it to X (I actually left the platform exactly 24 days before the renaming, the same day that I left Reddit).

Hell nar we got mastadon
Anytime there is a pole, I will vote yes.
But I am totally not going to do it.
Charging for the platform is a sure fire way to make it disappear. I hope Twitter disappears.
this is never going to happen unless musk looks for a reason to shut xitter down. like so many times before he's talking out loud what he's thinking right now, creating a massive migrane among the guys still running the site and everyone who is financially invested in it.
I'm not willing to use it even while it's still free, so no. Mastodon FTW
I suspect this will backfire, as usual.
lol
Considering I won't use Twitter now and it's free...
Absolutely not.
I can't imagine there's many people who even like twitter on the fediverse, much less would like it enough to pay for it.
Given I don't use it now and it's free, I don't think making it paid is suddenly going to incentivise me to do so
He just does the "all publicity is good publicity" trick. He isn't so stupid to actually do it.
