    I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

      Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.

      1. Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
      2. Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites

          Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.

    Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an “everything app” will be trivial by comparison.

      Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers

      Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing “everything”

      Step 3: ???

      Step 4: Profit(?)

      Seems like step 3 might involve stopping doing even the basics of keeping your existing client base happy.

        Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?

        I can’t imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You’re basically asking for your identity to be stolen.

        In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others

          We literally had a joke about destroying a brand the very way musk is at the top rated business school I got a degree from. You kind of had to be there tho

    Doesn’t affect us OP. Does it ?

    Musk owns twitter so he can do whatever he wants to do with it. Its like when I mod my Toyota corolla , Toyota doesn’t post pics and ask “why”.

      If you made a stupid enough looking mod to your Toyota, I guarantee someone would post a picture of it on Lemmy

        Doesn’t mean shit as I own the Toyota corolla and i’ll do whatever I want with it. That how it works. If people have an issue, just dont use twitter. Using privately held social media and keep complaining 🤦‍♂️
