Too bad it only works if you were previously legacy verified.

That moment in time where they got rid of all the blue check and the impersonations started was comedy gold. I wish it lasted a little longer.

Glad that pharma company lost money haha.

Mastodon vastly simplifies its sign up process, defaults users to Mastodon's main server so it is similar to Twitter sign up. Also just broke the 8M user mark, so its gaining popularity as a Twitter alternative.

Unsurprisingly the thinnest skinned man on earth likely took that tweet down, probably something to do with free speech.

This was the article:

NPR should just tweet out their links to other social media once a week.

I don’t think Trump has tweeted since he was allowed back. Seems a little double-standardy.

NPR does usually take the high road, so they probably won't stoop to play man-child's game.

I like NPR, even as a Canadian.

Having the blue checks with priority on the replies really adds to the experience. You click into a tweet and get an army of Yoho's as the first replies.

Default Twitter teetering on transaction? - UPDATE: Board agrees to sell Twitter to Musk

This is what I get when I try to access Twitter this morning. Anybody else seeing this? The full screen version has a poodle sitting in a chair.

Did they just change all blue checks to. I guess the stigmatization of subscribing to Twitter Blue was not helping sales.

Man, Twitter is really f’d up today. I use UnfollowSpy to monitor followers and followed; don’t lecture me. (It could be UnfollowSpy but I’m blaming Twitter.)

Going through accounts I supposedly follow but don’t follow back, there are dozens that show up that I know I didn’t follow. It’s like Twitter has read my mind and has me following many, many that I didn’t follow but are based on my interests - favourite sports teams, travel, late-night TV hosts, entertainers, TV shows I like…all kinds of topics and people. My daughter shows up as an unfollower, but she didn’t unfollow me.

I unfollowed 100 today as that’s the daily max UnfollowSpy allows with the free version. Looking through the list there are probably at least 200-300 more to deal with. I hate Elon Musk.

Truth Social was supposed to replace Twitter, but it looks like Twitter is rapidly replacing Truth Social.
