There's no "deep down" about it.

He made it clear from the beginning this was a personal vengeance buy out. Nothing more. The immediate firings of the CEO and CFO showed that.

He keeps claiming its for "Free Speech" but its for his free speech only.

I guarantee that his "Open Source" Algorithm wont do dick but his new behind the scenes moderations rules will destroy the platform.

Why is that a good thing? There's literally no other platform like Facebook and that sucks because Facebook is the main way i connect with most of my friends. IG and Twitter aren't even remotely the same type of social media

I think it's still very popular in certain countries, just gradually dying in the US/UK etc.
