Countering the various "Why I Left / You Should Leave Twitter" arguments going around this a.m. is this perspective from @jeffjarvis. I think a fair description of his arguments this morning would be (1) there is utility in staying where one's relationships remain, (2) there is utility in staying on Twitter to convince others to leave, and (3) Musk's ownership is likely to be temporary, leaving hope that the older dynamic can be reestablished.

I find myself more persuaded by the moral and utility arguments raised in the contrary posts this morning, especially re: the first two points above. But I think Jarvis's third point in particular merits some consideration and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

@IntlLawGnome The more people leave Twitter, the more the company devalues, the more likely #3 becomes. Even that is an argument to leave.
