They still have a Twitter link from the top bar; clicking on it, at least for me, brings you to their Twitter profile, which blinks and reloads about twice a second without showing any tweets. I assume that the infra for running the paywall for non-logged-in users has broken down.

They seem a bit confused on which platform to use: the logo in the "Follow Us on Mastodon" box is that of WeChat.

All of their actual links point to Mastodon, so I think someone just used the wrong logo. There doesn't seem to be any actual confusion.

Good for you!

I'm not into social media in general, but I did join Mastodon recently in an effort to make new friends. It's fantastic! With no inscrutable central entity in control of the system it's... I don't know how to explain it. There's no algorithm.

As a side effect, now when I visit Youtube the recommendations seem to screech like the tabloid newspapers at the supermarket checkout line.

OT: written as X/Twitter seems better--when spoken as it can be "X / Twitter" or "ex-Twitter".

It shortens nicely to Xitter. With the x lending itself to a gentle "sh" sound.

I like that Xitter (sh/zhitter) has a Chinese ring to it.
