Haven’t seen any change at all as a Twitter user since the whole Elon brouhaha started.

Really? I've seen 2fa break, the rules for parody accounts change multiple times, ones making fun of Elon banned and the blue checkmark fiasco where a bunch of people were able to purchase official looking accounts for prominent companies and people.

  Oh, I read about those but I saw absolutely no change in my daily use, other the tweets commenting, of course. The app worked fine. I am at most a casual user though.

    Okay. A lot of people were affected though.
    - nickpp 4y ago
      Yeah, so I keep hearing. Never met one of those people or one of those effects myself though.

        I am effected. I can send you proof if you email me. My follower count is zero when I’m logged in after I was locked out of my account for a bit right after retweeting a joke meme critical of Elon’s handling of Twitter. Elon told me he wants to make Twitter a free speech area. Why did anything negative happen because I posted a family friendly meme? Just because it insults the owner of the free speech platform? I only log into Twitter once a month. I post even less. This is the first time I’ve had issues. I don’t have proof for loading being janky at times in recent weeks but I could be on the lookout and take screenshots of that too.

        I believe you, thanks for writing about it here.

        If I have to not be biased. Yeah it isn’t the biggest deal yet. Would I hate this sort of situation regardless of who was at the helm? Absolutely. The worst thing as a [tech] worker is people being okay with Twitter as it is now and with more gradual degradation. I will vote with my class interest by saying Twitter isn’t fine. Why should most people be fine with shoddy work by overworked employees or with possibly weak safety and security. All of this because debt repayment has to happen on billions of dollars of debt put on to the company’s books.
