My experiment:

So after 6 days and 25 posts of my stuff, I got a whole 4 'likes' from non-n3ta peeps. And those 4 likes were from accounts I don't follow, and who don't follow me.

And as I've previously said, bless yer n3ta peeps for saving ma bacon on the Twitters - you're far too kind! *MWAH* to each and every one of youse! xx

Conclusion:

Pissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

I'm going back to just following/being nosy on Twitter, now!

This will save Twitter:

"Twitter is set to replace its iconic bird logo.

Twitter owner Elon Musk on Sunday dropped a bombshell, announcing that the social media platform will soon do away with the bird logo, which has signified the brand over years.

“And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds. If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow”, the social media platform's owner tweeted."

----

Will he go full swastika with the new logo?

how good can an x possibly be anyway

You can't trust x's. I thought the teacher was leaving me kisses on my school work, but they turned out to be crosses next to my incorrect answers. :'(

this isn't a twitte rthing but still, i noticed today that not only does google image search now blur out ubbs by default (you have to manually press their I WANT TO SEE UBBS button to unblur them) but also it's little dictionary box thing that appears when you search specific words now blocks swearwords and you have to click a little button to show the vulgar equivalents

i hope google go out of business now

Post by **dng** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 3:50 pm

superceded by some search engine that's filled with nothing but unhidden vulgarity

Post by **vom** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 4:05 pm

something that I also noticed is that sometimes I will google a website name, if I'm too lazy to type the whole thing in (i.e. on phone) and increasingly the top result for the actual website name will not be that website, but a shittier version of the same thing that has presumably paid to be one place higher

everything gets worse always

Post by **vom** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 4:05 pm

maybe that's happened for a while but I only spotted it recently

I've been using duck duck go for the last couple of years as my default. Sometimes I resort to !g (which tells it to use google) and get better answers, but today it gave WORSE answers. Take that google!

The Sneaker Pimps predicted this name change for Twitter back in 1996:

He originally wanted to rebrand Paypal to X, before he was bought off or whatever it was that happened

Also the logo looks like the logo of a megacorporation in a 90s dystopian point and click game, which is apt on at least two levels

And he's switched Dark Mode on the site permanently for some reason

Also there are rumours that Twitter / X corp / whatever it's called this minute are a few months away from defaulting on some massive loans or something

Oh, and I think it was today he decided not to ban a nonce account based out of the Philippines but merely delete all the photos (as "no one saw them anyway", or words to that effect) and allow it to continue to exist. Because he's a free speech abszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsubmarinecunt

that paedo man is also apparently one of the few people that have been getting paid a share of advertising on their posts under whatever arbitrary measures elon musk decides you get a nice little kick back for posting child porn on his app for some reason

Bloody hell.

Now if you don't log into Twitter, you can see... some Twitter accounts' old tweets... incredible stuff!

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:44 pm

And a genuine game-changer!

Has anyone set up a Threads / Bluesky account yet? And if so, how's it going?

Post by **vom** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 3:56 pm

Post by **dng** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 3:58 pm

i was given a bluesky account code the other day (apparently it's invite only for some reason)

anyway it's exactly like twitter, except i don't know anyone on there

Post by **dng** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 3:59 pm
