Won’t miss what
I just checked the site and it’s still Twitter.com
Other than the missing bluebird everything looks the same.
Good.
Twitter was totalitarian and active in the election fraud coup.
Dumb decision.
Even if embedded timelines are restored, we still won't have tweets' visibility to most of our viewers.
Musk really messed up with Twitter/X this time.
Won’t miss it because I never joined the dastardly site.
In the cone of silence....

But I thought Musk was going to save the world.

Twatter is still valid though, right?
Big big fan of dark mode.
Never used it. Don’t care.
The functionality is the same.
Perhaps (gasp!) somewhat improved.
Even for those of us who don’t pay for Blue Checks or whatever will replace them.
Who cares what it’s called?
I just looked up x.com and found this wiki info.
X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California. In 2000, Musk was interested in merging with competitor Confinity Inc., a software company also based in Palo Alto, because it had developed an easy payment system. The merged company changed its name to PayPal and the X.com website redirected to PayPal.
In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for US$1.5 billion. In 2015, PayPal was spun off and became an independent company. As of July 23, 2023, the X.com website redirects to Twitter after Musk decided to rebrand the social networking service as X following his acquisition.
So Elon has owned x.com all along. Smart business move to keep it after selling the business.
I love it now
No more yanked posts
Not sure strategy here honestly
The new iOS version of “X”/(Twitter) still has the bird tweet sound when you “pull down” to refresh! Some avian influence left! ;-)
