It’s back.
I was hoping it’d be dead forever.It’s back.
The way so many people are sticking to this sinking ship of Twitter really does give me Majora's Mask vibes. It doesn't matter how bad a situation gets, people will just cling to what they know until the absolute last.
Not that I'm using this analogy to deride anyone still using Twitter. It's just kinda sad.
Well if Twitter keeps falling like this, at some point something is gonna take its place. People can only take things so long before even they crack. It won't be some overnight thing, of course, but something a bit more.Well you have to look at it from a number of different perspectives
Twitter has been around for years and years, and with that comes certain communities of followings and mutuals that aren't quite as easy to let go for many. Yes we have discord but it's not the same in some aspects.
Plus Twitter has been good at getting first looks at news, networking for some industries, and even just communication for professional reasons via DM.
That's why these other smaller alternatives like Hive, Mastodon etc haven't really popped off despite Twitter's downhill trajectory and (imo) eventual downfall.

I mean I guess we knew this was coming but still, there it is. Fuck.
I mean for me the For You is garbage because I don't find people through twitter, I usually see their art or stuff elsewhere and then discover twitter is the only platform they're on and then follow them and exclusively filter by people I follow. So I won't really be affected, but I'm just thinking about all the artists who will now get ZERO visibility because of this and I fuckin hurt.Actually a good idea, because now with only verified users For You is now exclusively the For You To Block tab.
(The poll thing is trash and we all knew it would happen after we all voted him off the platform)
Thats not enough, more shit needs to break :vWhat a funny day for my "Following" tab on twitter to suddenly stop fuckin working
The implication I'm making is that it's not brokenThats not enough, more shit needs to break :v
Yeah!ing this part, not all the stuff Elon's doingwhat a fucking bastard
The top 10,000 businesses got to keep their checkmarks. I wonder if they did something similar for the biggest celebrities when they realized no one cared for paying.Seems like legacy verification is still in place, wondering if the cancelation was walked back.
Could be, but I’ve noticed some figures that would surprise me to be in that group, like Doug Bowser or this guy:The top 10,000 businesses got to keep their checkmarks. I wonder if they did something similar for the biggest celebrities when they realized no one cared for paying.
Yup lol.
And also don't be a left-leaning journalist.It’s honestly horrendous lol. Since this whole thing started, the only actual rule on Twitter left is don’t dunk on Elon too hard.
ironic/poetic that the checkmark is now essentially a way to shame and mock you these days lmao.It’s funny because, from the way Twitter blue was initially pushed, to “give you equal standing” with verified celebrities and whatnot, this is exactly what they should have done in the first place from a business perspective. But because they half assed things, and left months open where “legacy” accounts were established as real and blue accounts as fake, doing it at this stage, when check marks are now basically disdained openly and they don’t fill their role of verification, having one has no value anyway.
