  It’s so cringe and ridiculous how they implement these obnoxiously biased changes and then immediately walk them back when they’re called out for it. Just trying to figure out how much they can get away with

    I’ve never been an active Twitter user but it surprises me how much they do seem to be getting away with. Does it really not bother most people? Last time I logged in (before deactivating my account like a month ago) it seems like people I followed were still going about using it as usual. I suppose similarly I’m saying that here on Lemmy having migrated from Reddit - and Reddit is very much active after its own drama too, I guess.

      People have invested a lot into Twitter. They’ve built social networks there, they have brands or client bases for people who make money and it’s also just where most people are. Leaving means giving up most of what they need or want Twitter for. It’s a captive audience

  The best part of the NYT article linked in the tweet is the image. It shows the letters from the sign on the side of the building. Specifically the T, the W and the @.

  Subtle.

    We should care even if we don’t use X. It gives other companies permission to do the same. Once Verizon started throttling in an effort to shake down Netflix for money then other providers joined in.

  X (formerly known as Twitter) has become even more of a wild landscape of a social experiment that is particularly centered around one person

  Or an alternate question, what other changes have they made that haven’t been noticed yet that is quietly degrading experience?

  I clicked before I realized it was a link to twitter...er....X.

  Don't you use X when you want to cross something out?
