I’ve never understood the constant calls for this. It feels like a meme more than a feature people really need. Is it that hard to proofread 140 characters? What other common use cases are there that don’t impact the conversation in replies?
- CharlesW 5y ago> It feels like a meme more than a feature people really need. And anyone can always delete and retweet, too. The "problem" this solves is that narcissists measure their self-worth by tweet metrics and are desperate not to lose them. It's not a coincidence that this is happening as Musk buys his way onto the Twitter board and riles up his followers about his first pet feature.
- unholiness 5y agoThey announced this 3 days before he bought the shares. Seems like a coincidence to me.
- InGoodFaith 5y agoTwitter says it's been working on it since last year. But as for the whole "3 days before he bought the shares" - He's been accumulating for far longer than that and even the CEO of Twitter mentioned they were in talks with Elon about being on the board "in recent weeks" [1] With that said, yes it may be manufactured coincidence mostly driven by the new CEO change and not by Elon buying shares 1: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/05/elon-musk-spent-2point64-billion-on-twitter-shares-so-far-this-year-new-filing-shows.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/05/elon-musk-spent-2point64-bil...
