OK, but it is possible to use these things in such a way as to avoid the idiots. I use most social networks in this way, and never have trouble.
People who choose to doomscroll and read whatever sh*t the 'algorithm' is promoting are simply opening themselves up to this all this junk and abuse. I do understand this is how a lot of people (bafflingly) choose to consume social media, and I'm not advocating for zero oversight - but Musk is smart and he understands some degree of protection for vulnerable people must be factored in somewhere.
I actively avoid algorithmic feeds wherever possible and curate my own content.

To be clear, I still post on twitter. I'm just making sure I don't have all my eggs in that basket.
