Wtf. It's like they're begging you into a hellhole. My only follows are the likes of dan carlin, last podcast on the left, dana carvey
Welp. You had a good run man, but these are your people now.

Grow a neckbeard, acquire a Confederate Flag, drape yourself in a Qanon t-shirt and join the holy quest in search of Q and take up Golf and...I guess Murder?

Time for a custom MAGA user title?

I haven't used the app in a couple years. Just bookmark the browser to your phone and it works great. Or as well as "great" Twitter is

This is exactly what many predicted Musk had in mind when acquiring Twitter. He wants to control the narrative and meddle in the election. He has a lot of power to do so now.

Twitter API has broken. So 3rd party apps like Tweetbot aren’t working.

Looks like third party twitter apps such as Tweetbot and Twitterrific stopped working. Temporary glitch or something done by design?

I have same thing. Went on Twitter and it’s like 90% of people I don’t follow talking about alt-right US political topics.

One thing musk has been successful at is making the check-mark a marker for morons.

Just remember, if these are the type of people that are coming up on your feed, then these are your people now.

Twitter Has Spoken!!

My feed has taken a sudden right-wing turn as well, lots of suggestions for anti-vax quack doctors, right-wing mouth breathers like Lorne Gunther and Rex Murphy, and Pierre Polievre.

Not sure what changed but something definitely shifted in the last 24-36 hours to feed me this BS.

Looking forward to getting on Spoutible when its ready in a couple of weeks.

Now a report has emerged - Indian website Manoramaonline has claimed that Elon Musk has brought in a principal engineer at Tesla to lead Twitter's infrastructure division. The engineer named Sheen Austin and his new team will be responsible for all critical technical infrastructure which also includes the company's data centres as well.
https://www.timesnownews.com/technol...ticle-96387497

Aaaand he's gone.

Sheen Austin is out at Twitter. He joined the company via Tesla and took over infrastructure after Nelson Abramson.

I wonder if this has to do with 3rd party apps not working.

And this is why I like forums better. Twitter is too brief to veer offtrack this much, it is great for distorting facts but just can't manage tangents well.

Isn’t that based on who you follow? Or do you primarily look at what’s trending?

Do you all use the “for you” tab like serial killers? The “following” tab only shows you who you follow and in chronological order. You have no one to blame but yourselves yknow?

its incredibly bad for twitters business as I have no interest in the site anymore, and if me and the other woke lefties arent there to argue with the wing nuts on the right wont bother with it either.

It’s not the same site if you can’t suppress the other side of the argument I agree.
