>suddenly in 2022 that was completely disrupted To some decision-makers their idea of "disruption" is limited to enshittification more than anything else.
Disruption was never an unblemished positive for society.
Politics aside, Twitter/X has become a bad place to share information on and to link to. It's a bad option from a technical point of view. We can't read a multi-part tweet (or follow-ups from the author) or check the latest updates from an official account without an account, which requires a mobile phone number and sometimes extra verifications. A digital "town square" can't require an account and a phone number to…
I wish I understood why the majority of the AI discussions happen on Twitter/X.
paypal should have never ever given back Musk the x domain and ICANN should have nuked it long ago but all that aside, wtf is anyone still on it Musk is a mass murderer apparently the nazis would still be in power today if they just had a web service people were too freaking lazy and addicted to ever quit and Tesla "FSD" is still trying to murder passengers a decade later but that's also definitely a choice
Based on the downvotes, there's a lot of folks who just can't stand to be reminded who and what they're associating with by continuing to use Twitter. Folks, you don't have to give the nazi bar your business. You will live without Twitter.

Here in the Netherlands, WhatsApp has the defacto communication tool. Everyone is expected to have it installed, not just by friends but also municipals and companies. Same level as having an e-mail address. It's a missed opportunity for the digital soverignty the EU says it so badly needs. The code for a government backed WhatsApp competitor is there, in multiple instances even. Launch a WhatsApp clone and put all g…
I think my main communication is probably the last tool that I want to be government backed tbh.
I too am constantly frustrated that official communications from governments happen on Twitter or Facebook.

Even if it's communication/announcements from the government ? I too am constantly frustrated that official communications from governments happen on Twitter or Facebook.
I used Twitter for over 10 years without an account then suddenly in 2022 that was completely disrupted and no longer an option. Reddit is now this way too. But I find it ridiculous that Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. get used by government agencies and local businesses to post announcements and these sites are increasingly if not completely unusable without being logged in (and in some cases requiring an app inst…
Create an account then? Not sure why that's an issue.

Lots of services demand your phone number after the fact now, hoping to use the sunk cost fallacy to extort it out of you when you're in a hurry. Walmart recently deleted my phone number from my account for vague reasons but most likely because another account had the same number. That other account is my wife and the number is our VoIP line. I have no desire to interact with walmart through my cell phone so I didn't…
> Then they just bought my actual cell number from my credit card company Holy moly, don't you have any law at all to protect people's privacy ?
Is this referring to the new Twitter company that recently launched ( https://twitter.now )? If not, then this is just going to lead to confusion.
