That’s one way to win at tic tac toe

Hahaha fuck you, nice one. But fuck you because you are so much clever than me.

Do not envy because an ally is more clever than you, for he simply played tic-tac-toe more recently. Instead, learn the art of XXX.

They broke it shortly after Musk took over and private circle tweets became searchable and thus not private. So folks started to stop using it anyway.

I really think it's a shame because it IS a fix to a major problem with Twitter. But it never caught on the way I thought it would.

From the article:

Circles let you share posts that only a limited group of people can see, but the feature will be deprecated as of October 31st.

The enshittification continues, not that I cared about Twitter before it was X, but the fact that such a massive social media with all this weight is going down only because of the actions of a moron who has enough money to buy it leaves a path for a sad future.

For a minute there, I thought Elon finally killed X.

When the came for the squares, I didn’t say anything because I’m not square…
