Opinion: How I looked past Twitter and learned to like social media again

LA Times  

I had no plan to join Bluesky. Bluesky is one of many social networks that have emerged to compete with Twitter, which, since Elon Musk gained control last October, has grown increasingly toxic. Then last Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, which operates Instagram and Facebook, launched Threads, another Twitter-esque platform that within less than a week signed up more than 100 million users. The launch provoked a cease-and-desist letter from Twitter’s attorneys, claiming “systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation” of its intellectual property, along with some NSFW attacks from Musk. Compare that to Threads’ 100 million sign-ups, or Twitter’s estimated 350 million users.
