I wanted to keep calling it twitter but maybe I'll use the new name, because then I can say "I liked #twitter, but #X is rubbish!"

e.g. Does this search result mean nobody at #JGI2023 is willing to pay the guy who killed twitter to get their blue tick?

NOBODY should be rich enough to buy something half a billion people are using, and completely ruin it.

So over on that other site, I noticed the blue ticks for actual verified accounts had returned, but it turns out it the 8dollars browser add-on making them visible again. So it's easy to see who's legitimately verified Vs Elon fanbois.

#twitter #blueticks

#BlueTicks are little bloodsucking creatures common in East Africa - if the US government has even the faintest interest in a well informed US population they would have created a public broadcaster years ago.
As for X.Com (Newt Witter) - in the words of William Butler Yeats “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

#Twitter CEO #ElonMusk's crackdown on legacy #BlueTicks has left many celebs without the coveted symbol of authenticity, only available via paid subscription.

Mark #Zuckerberg : "Elon Musk is a business genius. I am a business genius. Elon done #BlueTicks on #Twitter, I will do blue ticks on #Facebook. We are both business geniuses".

Now the #Taliban are paying for #blueticks on #twitter : At least two officials have made use of #elonmusk 's paid-for-verification feature, report reveals https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11643373/Twitter-allows-Taliban-members-blue-ticks.html

#Taliban start buying #BlueTicks on #Twitter

Hedayatullah Hedayat, the head of the Taliban's department for "access to information", now has the tick.

His account has 187,000 followers and he regularly posts information related to the Taliban administration. He had his paid-for blue tick removed last month, according to local media, but it has now returned.

Is anyone really surprised? But, 👇 could also be completely avoidable! #Twitter #verification #blueticks https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64294613

I was just skimming through the #TrumpTaxReturns #hashtag on #Twitter for a few minutes.

The one thing I did notice, was just how few :verified: #Blueticks I saw in the posts.

Admittedly, people who are posting that tag are likely to be lefties, but even so I am glad that #TwitterBlue isn't catching on.

Elon is going to make #Birdsite votes only for #Blueticks in relation to policy change 😱
