Space scientists, astronauts launch to other platforms amid Twitter turmoil

Unless you’ve been living under a moon rock, you’ve likely heard that Twitter is going through some drama now that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is at the helm. While Musk maintains that his primary concern for the social media site is to facilitate freedom of speech and expression, others on the platform, particularly users from marginalized communities, have expressed concern that the loosening of moderation rules will lead to an increase in hate speech and misinformation.

Such fears have prompted many users to quit, or at least threaten to quit, the site entirely. And it’s not just political commentators or Twitter influencers; a number of scientists, and at least one astronaut, have threatened to log off Twitter for good.
