The twitter.com URL is finally going away.

Just imagine the linkrot.

Twitter does not seem to have any resemblance to reality anymore.

And it is clearly dying.

dannotdaniel,
@dannotdaniel@mastodon.social avatar

@riversidebryan @Hey_Beth Many haven't but this doesn't change the math anymore IMHO

many people have just stopped posting
by and large the rest of them lose my respect every time they continue to use what is left of the site

I tweeted on November 2022: What will you do WHEN Twitter turns into a paid social media? People laughed. I wonder if they are laughing now.

#X

One platform is moving forward and the other is becoming a regressive backwater.

@mehtology & @sarahprz w/ dueling headlines on the future of the Social web.

New users will have to pay a fee to sign up for X, and only after three months will be able to post for free.

WTF, Elon restored my blue check.

Premature removal of my verification lead to me to leave the platform.

I held a funeral for my 17 year old Twitter presence.¹

X's shift to pay-to-play verification contributed to the destruction of Twitter, which the @verge recently mourned.²

In its smoldering ruins stands the banana republic known as X.

Getting back my blue check will not win me back.

Twitter is dead.

X drops the "Trust" from their "Trust & Safety" team.

Now it's just "Safety", which is a two point score in football when the offensive team is tackled, loses possession of the ball, or commits a foul in their own end zone. 🏈

May finally shut the old Twitter account down for good. The only thing I worry about is someone else using the handle.

@dannotdaniel@mastodon.social avatar

@therobburgessshow This is what people have said but has that actually happened and what was the worst thing that happened from it?

pull the plug I say

It is getting more and more difficult for me to maintain respect for the journalists who remain active contributors to the deadbird site.

They know they are giving their support to Musk, a sociopath who loathes honest journalism and amplifies democracy's enemies.

It really is that simple.

dannotdaniel,
@dannotdaniel@mastodon.social avatar

@WackyIdeas @dangillmor the whole thing makes no sense

the @#$! platform is dead. they don't know or don't care, and I'm not sure which is worse.

6th sense "I see dead people"

if you left Twitter and got an archive of your posts on there, unzipping that does give you an HTML interface to your old tweets.

fucking elon fuck

elon could require that you literally smack yourself in the head with your phone to post, and these folks would just keep logging on

I had a Twitter list "standard stuff" where I listed the core accounts I definitely wanted to hear about. This fav list grew over the years and had 120 users in total. These were active users that in the golden era posted every day. These were the ones I wanted to read whenever possible.

I wanted to see what's the status today so I went through every account and here's the result. By "inactive" I mean users who haven't posted anything in two months or more.

  • 20% have completely deleted their account (the list now has 95 users)
  • 36% still post frequently
  • 64% are inactive or quit using Twitter
  • 30% are inactive without any reason given
  • 23% of those who still post on X also have active Mastodon, Bluesky or Threads accounts
  • 1% quit and moved to Bluesky
  • 1% quit and moved to Mastodon
  • 1% is active on Threads

IBM suspended advertising "while we investigate"????

how about forever or AT LEAST until there is NEW MANAGEMENT

Kinda feel like a giant corporation with a 1.6 BILLION net profit in 2022 could cobble together a FREE MASTODON INSTANCE

I'm old enough to remember when Apple had the "Think Different" slogan

This is working exactly as designed. Pay for reach, then get compensated the more views your rack up. This is profiteering in the information wars.

Can you imagine the size of the checks X creators will be screenshotting and showing off in a month?

Wow, I go offline for 10 days and now X/Twitter wants to share my email address with its creators/gives me access to my subscribers' emails.

How SubStackian.

How many people blindly tap "I agree" without reading?
