Try Masterbatedone if you don't like Twitter - Elon Musk

G GOWTHAM
Elon Musk, the new owner of twitter, has been making fun of Mastodon, the platform's rival, but some may argue that this time he has gone too far. He attacked users who were criticising Twitter's recent updates in a tweet, which now appears to have been removed, and urged them to join "masterbatedone" if they had a problem. Musk posted a mocking tweet on Mastodon at a time when many users had experienced lengthy system outages. 

Some users are abandoning twitter in favour of competitors like Koo and Mastodon after the platform's ownership changed last week.



Describe Mastodon.
Mastodon is not a particularly new platform, but in 2019 it saw significant growth in India. After twitter suspended senior supreme court attorney Sanjay Hegde's account at the time, a large number of people migrated to Mastadon.


Mastodon: Does it truly hurt Twitter?
Twitter appears to be performing pretty well despite these campaigns. An internal memo that The Verge was able to access claims that during Musk's first week as owner, Twitter's daily user growth reached "all-time highs." According to the report, Twitter's "monetisable daily user (mDAU) growth has increased to more than 20%, while Twitter's largest market, the US, is rising even faster." For perspective, twitter reported in its second quarter report that it had 237.8 million monthly active users.
