Removing the post button would increase the quality of twitter a lot, i think

Repost, like and reply are metrics that can be used to gauge how popular posts are, by removing that they can push whatever they want as “popular” with no real way of knowing. This is like Netflix Top 10 with no insight into the metrics.

This is like Netflix Top 10 with no insight into the metrics.
I mean I don’t think you need to see the metrics. They’re the top 10 because they show you the same fucking content over and over and over again at the top of your “feed” or whatever. Even content you’ve already watched.
And I don’t even understand why. What do they have to gain from this?

That’s been changing for me lately. All of a sudden youtube is throwing me curve-balls and it’s great.

He should remove the “post” button while he’s at it.

Never used don’t care really but:
users can also force touch a post in order to open a menu with more options.
Their terminology needs some work, force touching is not ok…

Yeah wtf. Long tap is more clear anyway. Sounds like a Freudian slip

It’s not like Musk is known to sexually harass his employees, or anything. /s

It’s in reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Touch
That said, it was discontinued in favor of Haptic Touch a while back.

Yes! Do it. Make your platform even less relevant, Lonnie. Run that shit right into the ground.

Well, he’s slowly bringing Twitter down, which fits with his description of Twitter before he bought it.
Seems like he’s doing what he saw as needed doing - create space for other platforms to compete with Twitter.

Probably realized he could cut server overhead by 40% this way

Maybe when Musk is through with Twitter what will be left is Mastodon…

Obviously this would only apply to the app, right?
A lot of us would never install an app for the cancer social media apps

Twitter will be reintroduced as musk standing, naked and alone, on a street corner screaming gods’ secrets while doing the hand jive.

I’m pretty sure he’s using Twitter as some sort of home project science experiment.
The amount of sheer hate and vitriol I was getting ramped up hugely in recent months - the algorithm is definitely promoting hate, despite my almost never replying/posting. Lots and lots of far right political content also, it really didn’t feel random.
I bailed a couple of weeks ago.
