One my biggest complaints about Twitter is that any terrible take/thought/idea will get so much attention and dog piled on. It's feels designed to be toxic at times.

Oh, 100% it is. Musk wants eyeballs he doesn’t care if they’re nazi eyeballs or pedophile eyeballs, just eyeballs.

He thinks it’s funny to be so chaotic. Since I quit Twitter it’s been so good for my mental health.

It's like every time Yoho posts.

Twitter(X) can go to hell, when CP adds the [THREADS] [/THREADS] button we'll know it's ready for primetime

It was a problem before Musk for sure, now with all the changes to the checkmark the replies are now useless too.

I totally believe it's been better, I am working on reducing too. I have cut out Redditt and have been reducing twitter too and it's been good for me too.

Literally my biggest complaint about this forum for years and one of the reasons I post a lot less. All the focus going to one poster in a thread and the discussion turning into a turd sandwich.

He doesn't even like or care about the Flames. Why the eff is he here other than to link stupid right wing tweets? Besides his posts would be way more appreciated on calgarysun.com or youtube.

He has like 9000 posts and i doubt he even has 20 posts in the Fire and Ice Forum. The only thing worse than retweeting Cory Morgan is actually being Cory Morgan on here.

Musk should have called it: 'The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter.'

[timun]

Musk should change the name to an unpronounceable symbol.

Zuck washes his hands of the Elmo nonsense....

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg said in a post on Threads. "If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me."

Wasn't Elon supposed to be getting rid of all the bots? It seems worse than ever now. I sent a tweet to DAZN, bitching about their ads. I got 10 likes, 9 of which were bots. First time I've ever seen that.

Special counsel Jack Smith obtained an extraordinary array of data from Twitter about Donald Trump’s account — from direct messages to draft tweets to location data — newly unsealed court filings reveal.

But it took a bruising battle with Twitter’s attorneys in January and February — punctuated by a blistering analysis by a federal judge, who wondered whether Elon Musk was attempting to “cozy up” to the former president by resisting the special counsel’s demands — before prosecutors got the goods.

Ultimately, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell held Twitter (now known as X) in contempt of court in February, fining the company $350,000 for missing a court-ordered deadline to comply with Smith’s search warrant. But the newly unsealed transcripts of the proceedings in her courtroom show that the fine was the least of the punishment. Howell lit into Twitter for taking “extraordinary” and apparently unprecedented steps to give Trump advance notice about the search warrant — despite prosecutors’ warnings, backed by unspecified evidence, that notifying Trump could cause grave damage to their investigation.

Musk does a lot of dumb ####, but simping for Trump has to be near the top.

Twitter is alive and well. I use it daily.

It's completely useless without an account now. Even Nitter won't work anymore. How can you call yourself a global town square when you gate keep access? And no, I don't want an account so that I get tracked everywhere, and add a +1 to the numbers of people who's account activity quietly endorses Musk's bigot and racist parade.

It needs to die already.

I think it might have been a change in Twitter that reacted with iOS’s cookie blocking.

Musk is limiting visibility to accounts and sites he does not like so it is more child's play thing than global town square.

Outside of all the BS it is not the platform, usability wise it was a year ago. Still ok for news and updates but it is no where close to what it was.

Ya, I had just read an article where he was throttling links for 5 seconds to sites he doesn't like because they hurt his feelings. It's pretty pathetic.

Twitter was and still is whatever you choose it to be.

If you choose to follow accounts and read comments that make you sick about the state of the world, then twitter will oblige.
