They're leaving Musk, but they're not leaving his financial backers, and they're entering into the same kind of "possibly sold to a fascist despot at a moment's notice" situation they just left.

It's short sighted, perfirmative, and doesn't actually make the Internet better at all. It just tells us that people prefer a closed Internet owned by billionaires.
