(apologies for the link to the Muskman's site)

It’s a pretty good pelican too.


why?


Yes. I will also not use any product or any service that benefits Elon Musk in anyway or capacity.


musk is unstable. and so are the products he has under him. these are not good things to rely on. i got off twitter and now the site's drama doesn't affect me. at the same time, i miss the great content from threads. :(
