Complete silliness. It's not a psyop. It's not changing Twatter's image since it remains exactly the same. No one is "falling" for this.

It sure is a brand renovation exercise for musk, one way or the other; half of twitter doesn't trust him much, the other half hates him, some like him, some don't give much of a shit about any of this
And the brand was damaged yes, twitter was a shitlib bastion in terms of censorship/moderation/"editorial line"
The only reason I would create a twitter account would be because I would need one, I don't And if I need one for business purpose it's not going to be one that gets even remotely involved in anything even controversial or political And if it's for political needs, it's going to be tailored accordingly, according to actual needs, nothing more, and it's going to be a separate one
I don't put me and myself over there, just as I don't here, and here it's politics and entertainment, and here I am going by the handler "0K"
...
If anything what I'm saying is that, it doesn't have to be an issue, however it's going to be an issue if you/I/people don't segregate things...
This whole habit, system, of "certifying people", tying their real life identity to their internet identity, is a bad one, it's bad practice
It's not the individual that matters, it's what is said. Either there are takers or there aren't, if there aren't then people aren't interested that's all, that's the free market of ideas, and everybody hates tolls

I agree with the separation aspect. In the days before FB, all of my online accounts used aliases... that's what EVERYONE did. My AIM chat sidebar had nothing but aliases, but I knew that "StinkyPinky69" was my friend from second period. I had a MySpace with an alias, when FB started taking over I created an account and used an alias... very quickly all my friends started using their legal names and I was the only one still using an alias for a long time. I remember being so pissed off at how easily everyone seemed to ditch something that I felt was important.
You are probably of only 5 people I have met in person or online in my entire life that has pointed out that at least in principle it's important to separate the idea from the person. I'm always equally disappointed in people when I see them unable to judge ideas and concepts on their own and I see it as a strategy of laziness. Why think through a concept when instead I can just point out this person's ratty shoes and ignore their life-altering advice?
But we know why names became mandatory... control.
The cracks are starting to show though. and the coming depression presents an opportunity, a gap in their armor, but it will be narrow and it will be well-defended. Until then small sites like Voat/Poal are going to be pivotal.
I'm sure you would agree so I'll say it for others. While the seeds of dissent may be planted online. The revolution will be offline.
