therealhantsram Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Had enough of the constant nonsense. Uninstalled it today. Many the folks I used to like following left a while back. The thing that kept me there was the community of Rams tweeters.Β I guess I'll be spending more time here now instead.

Alph Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 For years fans and critics alike have pushed twitter to dream bigger, to innovate faster.Β I would like to ask 'twitter fans' if this is true. And as a critic I don't think I've pushed twitter to do anything. Just wish it fecked off into oblivion as it's the most toxic of "socials"Β Do fans buy merchandise?

Stive Pesley Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Kind of funny that there is a strong school of thought which suggests all of Elon's actions around buying (and trashing) twitter are because he's so badly wounded by his wife divorcing him. And he changes the name of the app to.....x π Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 "Tweets" replaced by "x's". It's effectively trying to turn X into a verb. I've never tweeted and I can't see myself x-ing any time soon. It feels to me like this is some weird experiment by Musk as to how many things he can do to deliberately screw up the company - and yet keep it alive.
