I started browsing Twitter regularly in 2021 and I will miss it as a place where you can find out if someone had the same thought as you on twitter in the last decade

i'm beginning to think the user experience of twitter can be drastically improved for any user by deleting your account. if the forums installed a supreme marshal to rule the united states and they blocked twitter via force of arms, would that be a bad thing? if jeffrey of YOSPOS instituted a rule forbidding all links to twitter and banned any goon who did it, would the forums be a worse place?

You all have no idea how important blue checks are to people. They view it as a status symbol, a life accomplishment and as a fundamental part of who they are as a person. And I bet a large percentage of them will happily pay to keep it.

Nah this is mostly just what weirdos who get really worked up about the existence of blue checks for some reason think

I'm pretty sad that when I am screaming at my phone and defeating my posting enemies on twitter while on the toilet straining to poo poo that I will no longer have a blue checkmark. My handful of followers won't know it's me for certain.

with the competition being gaia online and a bodybuilding forum I'm not so sure

gross tonnage is a measurement of internal volume, so i'm pretty sure we have the bodybuilding forum beat. they may be as heavy, but muscle is denser than flab. good point about gaia online though, could have a real run waddle for your money there.

Briefly considered buying a robotvacuum today. Started googling for models and reviews and sifting through the poo poo heap of paid promotions, fake test sites and fake reviews seems like more work than just keep vacuuming the apartment myself💀💀💀

e: how many characters was that? what is this poo poo UI? How do I tell how many characters my post is?

It won't - Elon bought it out at over twice the worth to take it private. It won't be publicly traded from now on unless he changes his mind again and why would that happen it would be stu....

I should have realized it was delisted - I was overcome by the mental image of the stock price plunging into the abyss and didn't think it through.

I wonder if he'll try to sell Twitter NFTs between now and the inevitable extinction of the company?

(and can't post for 10 days!)

it's only tangentially related but i was wondering how these social media sites are still seen as valuable since i assumed 80% of people must be using adblockers by now which should zap their revenue but apparently it's only between like 30%-40% and has even dropped a bit in recent years. weird.

I use the app and also it's fun to see the ads you get after you've spent years blocking every conceivable major advertiser
