Twitter Users Can't Stop Roasting Elon Musk's 'X' Rebrand

And many "can't" stop staying on the dead bird platform, for many reasons, all understandable:

• "It's what we know and where we have connections...."
• "I know how to start anew, make 'friends' &/or build a following or brand.... but I'm over that, done..." ["avoidance"]
• "Elon is the coolest thing ever, I've paid now and all is well, no problem here. [cognitive dissonance]
• "#Twitter is still Twitter, better and worse, and I'm in for the #Musk magic. Nothing changed, all is well. ["denial"]
• It's all Hillary's fault. ["delusion" / #GQP - #TrumpVirus cult membership has been renewed]

On a serious note, as both psychologist, #SocialMedia observer, and #GooglePlusRefugee who saw eight years of engagement, interaction, time investment in communities, collections, etc, only to see it just blown up, with a warning setting off a flourish of activity to save archives, 'signal flares' to let people know where to find you, and looking for a new "homeland" offering the same blend of people plus 'bells & whistles'....

It was traumatic for many, as is the case now on Twitter, more of a Schrodinger's cat just now, as it's not set to completely implode, though some argue it already has. So my strong suggestion is for those 'hanging on', hoping or waiting or just fed up with ch-ch-ch-changes.... is to note where people are heading (if you're a regular/avid Twitter user) and sample some of the options, be it Fediverse ('here', Mastodon, or 'other'), or Post (least active/interactive but with some news/literary org presence), as prime destinations. Post Google+ many returned to FB/IG, reddit, Federated hubs, etc, and many got swept into MeWe (which still falsely speaks of "public" posts but is active, with groups & tons of emojis, and an easy interface for phones. It's pretty.)

So.... ch-ch-ch-changes, and a very serious and confusing time for many who have long considered the (@ real) Twitter to be home, or a home.
