Called it. Elon’s doing exactly what I thought he would do: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947

Twitter is dead.

There is no point in trying to hold on to what Twitter used to be. What Twitter used to be no longer exists.

It died the moment Elon walked in the building.

Anything posted there since then has been free content on his everything app and potential crypto scam, X: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/23/twitter-elon-musk-says-he-wants-to-change-companys-bird-logo

      So many ways:

      • frequent outages
      • spaces drop out frequently
      • blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
      • I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
      • blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
      • analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
      • it’s awash with bots
      • algo works against ux

        Legit points. Although the fourth one might be just your problem, for me it works normally.

          Yeah maybe - I imagine the tech debt is hard to manage when you fire 80% of your staff.

          I’m on the latest version of the app and latest iOS version so I suspect I’m not alone
