Twitter C/D

if it weren't for the sun we wouldn't have to see all this bullshit going on

Everyone though electricity was such a great thing,
until that Frankenstein guy had an idea

i started a tech
which started the whole world crying

of all the things libs, melts, and/or fascists stole from us, i miss a motivational, impossible, idealized future the most. (tbf klein's piece is not quite so bad as i feared

THANKS FOR THE GOLD

biggest lol

1 Bronze is pretty much a diss

When will F2P Twitter get loot boxes?

Freemium social media.

For $5 a month, you can edit other people's tweets

fwiw if they adapted SomethingAwful's idea of allowing any user to pay $10 to change someone ELSE's profile pic they'd probably make a ton of money

speedrunning the lowtax effect

please use tokens to indicate how tweets make you feel

❤️ 12 😠 3 😕 9 🏄 3 😱 5 🤣 11 🧜 7 🐿 1 🥨 3 🥈 5

would be great if in three months Twitter looks like Friendster after it was turned from a social media site into an incomprehensibly overstuffed gaming platform, or whatever it was by the 2010s.

I’m already experiencing withdrawal.

Killing third party clients would certainly make me quit. Unusable without tweetbot.

My thoughts on this are known and yes

Albatross for Android seems to be, at this point.

hopefully this is a bug

I kept jokingly telling people on Twitter not to mention the third-party apps to Elon because I honestly think he didn’t understand they exist! This might be what happens when someone finally explained to him that they do :(

Tweetdeck still seems to work thank goodness (and my timeline on the iOS client remains chronological.)

I’m still locked out on Tweetbot. The convulsions have stopped but I still have a terrible headache.

prayers up

People are being negative about 'following' but isn't that how twitter should work?

Some things about Twitter haven't changed. A local news story here has gone mildly viral, due to bad actions by our local sheriff's department. A post about it by Radley Balko made it look like it was actually the city police department. As somebody who has covered this story from day 1, I replied with a slight correction that it was the sheriff's department. And for the last four days I've been responding to people who think that somehow directing their rage in the right direction amounts to loving cops.

I’m not twitter person- like i didn’t really know about tweetdeck 3p apps and shit, but i’m still surprised there isn’t some kind of alt medium better than mastodon or whatev. is that like just not gonna happen or ?

its hard to get people to switch it might even be impossible what you need is something that people want to use on its own merits not because its a replacement, you start with a small group of early users having fun fucking around developing the language of the app so to speak and eventually more people are attracted to that situation, also all the attempted twitter replacements have exactly the wrong idea theyre trying to make an elevated serious nice twitter but whats good about twitter is that its funny messy weird etc

prob more likely that twitter dies on its own than having its users stolen by a replacement

It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of micro-blogging

does tweetdelete still work? I rely on that to erase my stupid tweets weekly

Yup. I blew out my entire post history with it.

https://semiphemeral.com/ is also good

Ugggggggggh

lmao rip

lol something bad has happened at twitter

i agree, the last 3 months has been pretty horrible

I’m enjoying being on ilxor instead, and posting posts on my own website

I wondered about tweetdeck cos they are/were used by a lot of company accounts? But they say it’s affected them too:

If I'm being real, I'm starting to feel like TweetDeck's days are counted because like 3rd party clients it doesn't bring any (ad) revenue.

If it happens I expect it to be done in a cowardly manner, without any warning because that's how Twitter does things now I suppose.

tweetdeck team going rouge

wld be funny if they nuked all third party apps and tweetdeck as part of their project to alienate advertisers

Yeah, I dug a little more:

Welp, all the people I've met over the years at Twitter/working on Tweetdeck either left or got laid off. Make of that what you want but: oof. 🫡

It’s back for me on tweetbot! Long dark nightmare is over.

tweetdeck is hackable (just js/html/css) and people have been adding little tweaks like that for a long time

I’m so behind.

idk it’s got a weird interface and is for businesses and perverts

tweetbot working here, too!

tweetdeck is hackable (just js/html/css) and people have been adding little tweaks like that for a long time

it’s a diff project called “Better Tweetdeck” and the original dev sold Tweetdeck to twitter in 2011 or thereabouts

uh oh, looking at a single accounts tweets on tweetbot still not working :(
