Not sure why that is so important. Itβs still Twitter. Did we lose lots of fans when the Ram was redesigned on our shirt all those years ago? Well, no, Twitter is not still Twitter. It's now X, 'the cornerstone of the soon to be 'everyday / everything' app suite' that none of us knew we needed. You've clearly not been paying attention. Tutt-tutt. Also, a rather more reasoned and credible footy analogy might be when Wimbledon re-branded and moved to Milton Keynes, in which case the correct answer to your hypothetical query, would be, yes, they lost a shitload of fans, most of them in fact, in much the same way as Derby would if they moved the club eastside and rebranded us the Romford Rams.

I have never used, or followed Twitter, and my whole social media input is limited to this site. I rely on your ever insightful analogies to keep me in touch with what kids are up to nowadays.

Mucker1884 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) I've never "done twitter", in the true sense, but I was partial to clicking on the links kindly provided by some posters on here, and perusing the follow up comments etc... until I got bored, of course. Β I've noticed however, that for the past few weeks (even when it was still "Twitter"), such comments can no longer be accessed. I presume they require you to actually sign up now, do they, to attain such privileges?Β Β π€·ββοΈ Β If that's the case, I'll just refrain from clicking on the aforementioned links kindly posted on here, and just make do with whatever is on view directly in the forum post, as limited as that may be.Β I'm not THAT fussed!Β Β Β Edited August 1, 2023 by Mucker1884 TigerTedd and GboroRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to feel bad about paying $8 a month, as it's hardly going to move the needle. Plus he's not exactly the devil reincarnated.

I'm planning on becoming the go-to guy for glamping opportunities on my professional Twitter account. So various reasons, including adding legitimacy, allowing for longer posts (which I believe are being favoured by the algorithm over threads), ranking highly in replies and search, etc. I don't like it but $8 a month is nowhere near enough to feel guilty about.
