also it literally isn't encrypted end to end. the TOS makes it explicit they can show them to law enforcement, so they're fully able to decrypt at any time

it's $8/mo for just regular DMs

Did you not here? The end goal is Musk won't be able to look it up with a gun to his head, and he's going to spend every day he rifles through people's DMs until then sobbing quietly to himself.

This 30 day inactive account policy will ensure that only the most terminally online are on Twitter. They should make it into a prison. Don't even allow them to logoff.

He already did this with Grimes’ DMs.

A really funny new development is that I'm seeing a bunch of straight up pornography on my For You feed because only fans promotes are adding captions like "Do you want to see my NFL pussy?" and if you click on the "don't show me this" option it says "Do you want to see less football content?"

Incredible app.

Have they defined what is active and inactive? Do you need to post every 30 days or simply like/retweet something?

No and a real mass purge like that would probably actually kill Twitter (in that it would reveal how few people use it), Musk just wants an excuse to take back high value twitter name's.

Rules are just excuses for the powerful to do what they want. They’ll mean whatever they want them to mean until it is convenient for them to mean something else.

this is why I wanna know cause the vast majority of Twitter accounts are like memaw who occasionally likes a tweet from a news person ever half a year so suddenly getting rid of those accounts to show twitters actually usage is probably around the level of an average sized subreddit would be extremely stupid and funny so it felt like something Musk would do

What is even the point of this? To save a few bucks not having to store some old tweets from a celebrity? The cost for that has to be miniscule.

it's probably to improve some internal metrics - when a lot of desired nicknames are freed up, there's likely going to be a rush of new registrations to claim them. then you can celebrate how well your platform has performed!!

or maybe it's to punish some posting enemies by letting their names be taken over

I assume it's to try to force ppl who left Twitter back on because otherwise their brands can be impersonated

Or something. The entire thought process stinks of amphetamines
