It was a way to view multiple lists at once, your home feed, various accounts, hashtags, your mentions, notifications, DMs, etc. Super useful. I stopped using Twitter altogether when they updated it earlier this year and made it significantly clunkier UX + promised to make it paid.

It was the only way to use Twitter for me. Custom feeds for lists etc, chronological, and all on one page. Such great information density.
I would have gladly paid to use it before the new ownership too. Then again the new update for it added a couple things I hate so that makes it easier to move on too.

A better frontend, basically.
It guaranteed chronological timeline and multiple columns.

The only way to use Twitter for work
Basically now you have to choose between quitting or giving money to the biggest asshole on the planet
DarkUFO@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I chose quit and moves to Mastodon and Lemmy. Been happier ever since.

what the fuck was he thinking with the rebrand? not only did he throw all of the brand identity that twitter had, x. com and especially x premium don't exactly sound like social media sites if y'all get what im sayin

His goal is apparently to eventually make X and “everything” tool. It’s stupid and will flop.

There is a non-zero chance X merges with Reddit based on Steve Huffman’s public swooning over Elon Musk vision.

He has all the money and capital in the world to force his dumb idea in to prominence.

Makes me think of the Privateer / Elite style X spaceship games, but that's probably because of my personal bias towards games like that.
Everyone else would probably think Porn or the X-games first.

Bluesky already has a third-party client that can replicate TweetDeck well enough. Mastodon and Misskey also have a “deck” UI.
Rentlar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Still better than how that alien logo’d Lemmy clone handled third-party clients.

Social Champ + Mastodon FTW

This is the best summary I could come up with:
X, the social network formally known as Twitter, appears to be finally following through on its promise to make TweetDeck a paid service.
Many users on X, including social media consultant Matt Navarra, say that they’re seeing a sales page for X Premium (the subscription formerly Twitter Blue) when they try to load up TweetDeck, which is technically now called XPro.
A few of us at The Verge haven’t run into the block yet, but given how many people are saying that they can’t access XPro unless they pay, we’re guessing it’s only a matter of time.
It said at the time that the transition would happen “in 30 days,” so the company missed its own deadline by just a bit.
Under owner Elon Musk, X has tried to make X Premium a more enticing subscription with additions like longer posts, formatting, ad revenue sharing, and higher rankings in conversations and search — now, the company is hoping that access to XPro is worth paying for a blue checkmark.
TweetDeck was one of the most popular third party apps for accessing Twitter until the company acquired it in 2011.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Can’t tell if formally is a typo or meant to imply that everyone still calls it Twitter outside Elons circlejerk bubble.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s probably a typo, but I like it.
scytale@lemm.ee 1 year ago
We should call it XDeck.
Venomnik0@lemm.ee 1 year ago
X has finally formally announced X Pro, two days after TweetDeck users started noticing the new branding and paywall.
Shouldn’t this be illegal? Implementing a sudden paywall on a previously free feature without prior warning. LMAO
HKayn@dormi.zone 1 year ago
It’s not illegal if it’s part of their Terms of Service, which we all agreed to.

It feels like twitter is like a water tank that has a lot of holes and Elon is trying to put duct tape on those holes all at the same time to contain the water. Scrambling around not knowing what to do having only two hands and a million hole to patch with a tape that doesn’t even stick. Run that through your head 😂
shoelace@lemmy.world 1 year ago
More like he’s running around with a gun and shooting new holes into the water tank instead of trying to seal anything.
Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Shooting new holes in the water tank so the water doesn’t leak out of the existing holes as fast
donut4ever@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That actually sounds funny 😂
ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 1 year ago
I see Twitter as a ship too big to maneuver. Then one way it got bought and a new captain comes aboard. He deliberately breaks the hull here and there to make the ship lighter and more agile. The ship’s taking on water faster now. He also painted out her name. Despite all this, the majority of souls on board would rather sink with the ship than jump overboard.
donut4ever@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s good for a shorstory film to be honest. Lol
ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 1 year ago
And, he’s pissing and shitting in the tank, and inviting other pissers and shitters back to the tank.

looks like shit
