Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947

Twitter is dead.

There is no point in trying to hold on to what Twitter used to be. What Twitter used to be no longer exists.

It died the moment Elon walked in the building.

Anything posted there since then has been free content on his everything app and potential crypto scam, X: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/23/twitter-elon-musk-says-he-wants-to-change-companys-bird-logo

I like the idea they think they can make an everything app when as a text app it’s so utterly broken

1st ,

So many ways:

  • frequent outages
  • spaces drop out frequently
  • blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
  • I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
  • blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
  • analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
  • it’s awash with bots
  • algo works against ux

Yeah maybe - I imagine the tech debt is hard to manage when you fire 80% of your staff.

I’m on the latest version of the app and latest iOS version so I suspect I’m not alone

Oof, felt this right in the geriatric millennials.

Mfer I was doing assignments where I had to scroll through index cards to find the encyclopaedia, then hand write out the essay.

It’s weird when you go from being the disruptor demographic to realising that when your 5 yo kid jokes about the 80s it’s as far away in time to him as the 1940s we’re to me - for him it’s a 2d, pre-Alexa, analog dystopia.

And I’m only 42.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

Welcome to life after 40 - I’ve been an early adopter all my life, but my network hasn’t moved with me.

As a result joining Snapchat has no value for me.

So I tend to use apps that are friend-agnostic like this and TIkTok.

Side note: my fave messaging app is Confide, it only reveals redacted words as you run your finger over them, and then deletes. So it’s impossible to screenshot.

I’m not sure actually. I just tried to screen record and it wouldn’t let me. Then I tried to take a screenshot and it triggered a no screenshots pop-up

1st ,

That was fantastic- sums up the stages pretty well

1st OP ,

We really just sleepwalking into a Cyberpunk dystopia huh?

I have enough trouble finding all the bicycles in the photos, they wouldn’t need to change much

1st ,

Think it’d end up being astroturfing if anything - forum bombing positive sentiment, opinion etc

1st ,

I’m sorry you feel that way, but I get where you’re coming from.

Zoom out a little though and it’s consequences are war, famine, and desecration.

If not the human suffering, consider eons long chains of biology that’ll be wiped off the face of the earth as climates shift quicker than their ability to adapt

1st ,

I remember watching a clip from “The Network” where Jeff Daniel’s is interviewing an expert on climate change. It was when it was too late - and the expert lore or less said so.

It struck me as prescient - that despite all the warnings we’d be shocked when it came and it was irreversible.

Tbh it came sooner than I expected.

If you work it out lemme know, the “bookmark”, it does nothing!”
