   Elon booting people off Twitter? I can only see this as a good thing. These people will now be looking for new networks, and they'll hopefully set up shop on the Mastodon/ the Fediverse.

   Additionally, the less journalists on there, the less network effects Twitter will enjoy, and hopefully that social effect cascades until there are no (reputable) journalists to be found on Twitter at all.

     @peterbutler I suspect that was some shade being thrown at Musk
