A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Twitter is dead.

There is no point in trying to hold on to what Twitter used to be. What Twitter used to be no longer exists.

It died the moment Elon walked in the building.

Anything posted there since then has been free content on his everything app and potential crypto scam, X: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/23/twitter-elon-musk-says-he-wants-to-change-companys-bird-logo

Broken in what ways?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So many ways:

frequent outages
spaces drop out frequently
blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
it’s awash with bots
algo works against ux

I’m on the latest version of the app and latest iOS version so I suspect I’m not alone
