The twitter.com URL is finally going away.

Just imagine the linkrot.

anyone still "over there"

@dannotdaniel Jack Dorsey is back over there. Shocking, I know. As it turns out Twitter was just a shitshow in the making.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, no way a bot farm is going to pay a "small fee" 😁😁

@chris huh, the three month thing is stupid. Just ask Valve why they disabled the ability to get CSGO prime by playing. Creating csgo bots to farm xp and get the paid access for free is way easier than just creating accounts and waiting three months. This won't do anything

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. 🏈

@chrismessina @damon are you familiar with Tom Lehrer? He wrote a song once...

"Remember the war against Franko,
That's the war where each of us belonged.
He may have won all the battles...
But we had all the good songs!"

Art has its time and place. A battlefield is not one of them. Wars are good only for shutting down, not as a venue for a gala.

@Jon_Kramer @damon We can agree to disagree.

I recently saw this film and it helps to make my point: ‘Kiss the Future’

@dannotdaniel What makes them think their handle on Xitter is safe, even WITH a presence? Elon doesn’t follow rules of engagement. Has everyone developed amnesia or something? Do we not remember the return of DEAD PEOPLE to Twitter?

dannotdaniel,
@dannotdaniel@mastodon.social avatar

@robbienorlyn It's just an excuse

That's all it is. it doesn't hold up under any kind of scrutiny

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

@rolle I’ve noticed a huge change in Twitter. Interaction with others has gone down. My favourite users have left and others don’t post like they used to.

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@rolle I deleted my Twitter account and moved to Mastodon. I have made accounts on Thread and Bluesky, but they only have a post pointing to my Mastodon account. I really enjoy spelunking in the streams, finding new people to follow in a slow and "organic" way, instead of being algorithm-fed!

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
