I never look at "For You", so couldn't tell ya if it's getting worse or not. I prefer reading my timeline from most recent tweets back.

Just logged into twitter for the first time in months and apparently I'm suspended permanently (despite having posted 2 tweets ever and never breaking rules)...and then I clicked for details and when I closed that window the suspension message was gone and it was telling me 'let's go'. So which is it lol? And now the message is back with a link for appeal that is broken. Oh I see, my account was hacked by someone and they were using it. I tried to deactivate the account but it has to be unsuspended. So I click appeal and it tells me the account is not locked. Twitter can't decided it it's suspended or not apparently. I sent a message explaining the situation and stating that I wish to delete the compromised account. We'll see what happens. What a gong show. I was and am having an issue with this with my first account. It's been suspended for awhile, logged back in, and Twitter said it was permanently suspended, and the link also refreshed itself and went away before I could even comprehend what was going on My account had been suspended for awhile, because of DMCA Bots. I filed counter claims and got them all overturned, but my account was never reinstated. So idk if I also got hacked or what, but my account was already suspended, hackers couldn't have used it if they wanted to? I tried to file an appeal recently, but there was an error sending the ticket, gmail said it wouldn't go through or there was an error, no clue if that was on Twitter's side or Googles. I've kind of moved on from the account as a whole and have a new one, but I'm confused about it all, I should have never lost the first account in the first place and now it appears to be permanently stuck in limbo. I haven't tried to delete it yet, I guess the perk to that would be getting the email address for a new account? No idea. Whole thing is very, very weird.

I really, really hope Youtube videos not working is because of some brain-dead attempt at monetization or some deluded attemp to drive users to rival video sites on Elon's part. The less usable twitter is, the less users it will have, normal users and brands won't relocate their content to Rumble or wherever he decides to allow to embed videos, they'll just stop using the platform for announcements.

It'll be relaunched as a Twitter Blue feature within two months as we're at the point where all 'new' features will be paywalled as they're desperate. That nickel and diming will only serve to drive more people off.

I really only saw businesses use it. You'd get the account of a TV network and the account of a show tweeting a promo together, for example.

I think I've seen it actually used like three times. It always took me a minute to figure out what was going on when I did.

It's basically just like a tweet with two authors, something I've seen done a lot more (and a lot better) on Instagram. I've seen maybe three whole cotweets. Wasn't even aware it was something they had officially rolled out. For a guy who seems pretty adamant about Twitter making money, he's sure not helping himself by constantly getting rid of what works and staying the course with what doesn't.

So he's privated his account, supposedly as a test to see if his tweets can still be seen or not. So private is likely going away is what I'm expecting.

Either Private becomes a twitter blue feature or he's going to run another poll and wants to make sure as few non fans can see and vote on it as possible.

On today's episode of "Are you for f***in' real?" the DM button is gone from Android and iOS via the latest update I almost thought the bottom of that screencap text was going to say "Has Elon Musk gone insane?" at first.

Create a more user friendly interface by making the interface unusable, brilliant.

They’re killing free access to Twitter API on February 9th. Naturally, they’ll be offering a paid access tier after that date. God. Damn. Dumbass.

What I don't understand here is how it's so hard, even for a moron like Musk, to wrap one's head around the idea that the vast majority of people are not going to be willing to pay to make up the difference for locking off shit that's freely available on other, more popular social media sites behind a paywall. By and large people do not need Twitter; you make the site bad enough people aren't going to shell out to get around it, they'll just switch to focusing on Instagram or Mastodon or something.
