Wow, I go offline for 10 days and now X/Twitter wants to share my email address with its creators/gives me access to my subscribers' emails.

How SubStackian.

How many people blindly tap "I agree" without reading?

Well, setting up a shortcut to re-add the Twitter bird icon to my phone's home screen certainly helps, but that damn X still shows up in the Smart Stack.

Companies please stop putting X in your contact sheets and websites. It appears unprofessional.

Weird thing happening over at Twitter. Every post instantly shows a reply. Tapping the icon shows no replies.

Artificial engagement or engineering incompetence?

I'm still struggling with the fact that the man in control of the USA's only way to space (excluding Atlus rockets) and dictating our nationwide EV charging grid is an outright fascist troll.

In a way he's more dangerous than Trump because he normalizes Trump's behavior, and the masses go, "Well Musk is smart, so Trump must be ok."

@chrismessina Aww, I was going to remind myself what embarrassing reply I made in that conversation. twitter.com/chrismessina/statu β€˜s replies are completely unreadable now.

It’s sometimes fun to laugh at , but this time it makes my heart ache.

The shade of it all.

Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to websites he dislikes washingtonpost.com/technology/

Interesting... downloading videos on Twitter will be a paid feature.

"Only verified [X] subscribers can download videos. Sign up for Blue to continue."

Also, isn't Blue now "X Premium"? πŸ€”

The @music 𝕏 handle was just seized through eminent domain by X Corp. from Jeremy Vaught after he had accrued 11.4M followers over 16 years.

So much for 𝕏 being the "best place on Earth for great content creators". πŸ™„

We have entered the phase of ultimate ambiguity where the verb is "tweet" but the icon is 𝕏

How to incrementally destroy a social platform, in timeline format.

Note the omission of any mention of the Twitter API; many of these items were tested before the acquisition.

Even after today's app update which eradicated all mentions of Twitter and "Tweets" in the app, Tim Apple's iOS still aggregates notifications under the Twitter header.

Hard to kill the Bird App.

"Blaze your glory!"

X lands in the App Store focusing on:

- Blue
- Creator Subscriptions
- Direct Messages
- For You
- Talk

Whenever you hear his name or see his face, remember that Jack Dorsey wholeheartedly said this last year.

I made this pic in memory of Twitter. It was awesome for over a decade. It influenced both my personal and professional life possibly more than any other online service has.

Of course it has been for a long time now. The impact of the X rebranding is merely symbolic and doesn't really evoke any strong feelings in me. X is simply the dark tombstone of a social network that once taught humanity to connect in 140 chars across the globe.

There's already an $X crypto scam coin being promoted on X Spaces.
