Is Twitter any worse now than before Elon Musk took it over?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

No.

I mean yeah it's really bad now. But is that different from before? No.

Yes because it is now associated with Elon Musk.

It's noticeably glitchier, though that is very much a continuation - and rapid acceleration - of something that had been happening for a while. In terms of obviously grotesque content, well, it remains very bad, but the key word there is 'remains': I can't say that I've noticed any deterioration. In terms of spam, bots and so on, well, somewhat ironically given the new owner's frequent fulminations against both, things are clearly worse, though, again, this is an intensification of an existing trend rather than something wholly new.
