Honestly, it cannot be beyond the realms of possibility for an alternative crowd-sourced twitter to take off and leave Musk billions short, can it? Does twitter even have any IP protecting any of its functionality? Twitter is a massive piece of integrated software systems, he’s got rid of shitloads of engineers, it’ll likely implode/fail at some point, but deffo not easy to recreate.

I find myself typing out a response to something and then thinking “do I really want to have this conversation” and then going fuck it and cancelling my tweet. Trying to wean myself of even typing something out now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20712 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I was running the clubs twitter account for a number of months last year to help out. I hardly went on as it was just a cesspit like others have said. I suggested we deleted the account and most were against it. It's now gone thank god and nobody has mentioned a thing about it, so it shows how much it's been missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9918 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I quite like Twitter, I mute any politics stuff (although it seems to creep in everywhere) and am not shy with the block button, but I follow what I consider interesting accounts, mainly history and science based stuff and of course NUFC football (exc Casey and the like) and my NFL (packers) stuff. Oh and yank madness stuff is always good for "what the fuck" moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 11549 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Is everyone getting much more advertising these days? Seems any attempt to block or say you don't like the advertising has no effect. Is this Musk trying to earn some money because it's making me reconsider its worth? I only use it for news feeds and don't really engage otherwise but if every other post is an advert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Aye and they’re all for overpriced ‘wonder gadgets’ that I have zero interest in. If this is the sum of Musk’s great plan then I can’t see it lasting too much longer. Apparently Zuckerberg has a rival platform set to launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 11549 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Any reason why all posts with Twitter links in them have disappeared? Is this another one of Musk's plans for world domination? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like Twitter will be replaced by Zuckerberg's new app, "threads" soon at this rate. But I think this is linked to Instagram which, like Facebook, I've always avoided. Does this mean every time @The Fish posts we'll have to see his latest English tapas experiment, or, holy fuck, can you imagine the state of @Christmas Tree 's posts?

Certainly looks as though you have to log in to do so now, which was never the case previously. Also, I am not sure if I am the only one who can't now see previously posted tweets or whether I am special (in whichever meaning fits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46016 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Aye embedding has been stopped I think. Ties in with not being able to see anything unless logged in. Musk is the same as those idiots who went down in that submarine. Only accustomed to things working out for him and assumed that whatever he did would be a success. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
