This is hilarious

Too bad many good devs and journalists are on twitter mostly, I'm gonna have to create an account just to follow a dev I like...

Unless you guys have a solution to

1)access content without an account

2)"follow" someone, or jist be alerted for new posts (perhaps with a monitoring tool , the kind which scans page for changes?)

He's banking on the name "Twitter" still meaning something and there being no viable alternatives. Threads has really shown that twitter isn't as ubiquitous as we all assumed.

Well that's pretty stupid.

Does anyone actually DM in Twitter? I’m sure the checkmark bots do it not realizing 85% of the other checkbots are propaganda bot accounts too lol

If you're one of those artists/animators that, for whatever reason, thought basing the entirety of their commission system via Twitter was a good idea, they're definitely going to be affected.

Haha wow. What next?!

I'm actually surprised anyone is left on that shell of a platform.

Time for everyone to turn the page and move forward. No sense in giving Reddit et al anymore brain cycles. We'll all end up back inside of an echo ho chamber before you know it :P
