Seat68 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Same as @sidcow occasionally I want to look at a tweet as someone will say check out the replies. Can't do that now. Not sure if tweets shared on here will display to non logged in users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although you can take solace in the fact that almost everyone with a Twitter account has been frozen out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Yeah, have to say mine is fine. Perhaps it shows how few people I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 My son's up in arms about the twitter changes - I told him that it's a good time to try an old revolutionary thing called a phone. Twitter isn't good for anything but short updates but he's been using as some go-to echo-chamber. Anyway's, we're going to the pub in a bit after he rang me last night rather than texting me on messenger.. I think he sort of got the idea that I was trying to convey. Social media have proven to be the death of many people's social skills and etiquette. Why think about what you're going to say when you can blurt it out while sitting on the toilet and then get a ride out of the responses\likes\whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lost contact when leaving comp, I’m unlikely to want to post reaction emojis for pictures of your plastic lawn at gin o’clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why think about what you're going to say when you can blurt it out while sitting on the toilet and then get a ride out of the responses\likes\whatever. You've captured the very problem with social media. Yep, blurt out whatever you think, whenever you think of it - true/false, doesn't matter... ... to a global audience. In what universe is that a good thing? If nothing else, blurt it out to your mates and see what sort of reaction you get before you decide to update mankind with your particular form of wisdom.

LondonLax Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Twitter had a contract with Google for cloud hosting services that expired on the 30th of June. Twitter has been trying to reduce its usage with Google and host on its own servers for cost cutting purposes. It seems like Twitter is in for a bumpy ride yet.

Guest Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I don't have a twitter account, but used to follow links that embellish a thread. Can't do that now. I don't particularly care but that's a lot of crap useless links in the wild now. That is not a good thing for them as a business. People will use alternatives.

Seat68 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) At least when people post tweets I can still see them, just not any replies. So be it, will stop you very enlightened people saying /thread, and me having to read a 145 tweet thread on why Corbyn isn't a bellend.

Seat68 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Perhaps the biggest threat to his twitter business, Meta is due to launch their twitter alternative on thursday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66094072 Quote Facebook owner Meta is launching its new app to rival Twitter and says it will go live on Thursday. The app, which is called Threads and is available for pre-order on the Apple App Store, will be linked to Instagram. Screengrabs show a dashboard that looks similar to Twitter. Meta describes Threads as a "text based conversation app". Edited July 4, 2023 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted July 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2023 I was hoping BlueSky would kick things up a notch, that's the competitor being worked on by one of the Twitter creators. As amusing as it is watching Twitter implode, I'm not sure a further consolidation of Meta as the only globally significant social media player is a great thing, with Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp they're already too powerful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
