- Tijdreiziger 4y agoWorks fine on my end (considering the contents of his tweets, I almost wish it didn't, though...)
- akiselev 4y agoTo save everyone the click his feed is equal parts misogyny [1], 3 AM shit posting [2], and tantalizing flashes of self awareness [3].

- SamBam 4y agoThat second one, poking fun at the BBC for saying that Twitter "can't protect users from trolling," was really the BBC shooting itself in the foot with a laughable headline burying the lede of the article: > Twitter insiders: We can't protect users from trolling under Musk > Twitter insiders have told the BBC that the company is no longer able to protect users from trolling, state-co-ordinated disinformation and child sexual exploitation, following lay-offs and changes under owner Elon Musk. [1] For some reason, the headline decided to focus on "trolling" over an increase in child sexual assault and state-co-ordinated disinformation... 1. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64804007 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64804007
- dbfx 4y agoHonestly the "insider" even talking about "protecting" people from trolling and state co-ordinated misinformation(?) in the same sentence as protecting them from csam makes it very hard to believe it's something genuine. Sounds like the people who say all the petty things they dislike about someone on the internet and then finishes with "he's a pedo" to add gravitas.(yes elon does fall into this category)
- Tijdreiziger 4y ago'Trolling' has basically come to mean 'misinformation' among the general public, in the same way that 'hacking' has come to mean 'cybercrime'.
- IncRnd 4y agoTwitter seems to have fixed that issue. Your link loads fine for me.
- sockaddr 4y agoWow. Glad I'm not putting energy into Twitter any longer.
- swarnie 4y agoAs someone who's never sent a tweet, what did you get out of it Pre-SpaceJesus?
- sockaddr 4y agoNot much to be honest so it's not really a loss
- mywittyname 4y agoLocal status updates and the occasional tidbit of interest from people whose thoughts I like to read but who twitterblog instead of using an actual blog.
- spiek 4y agoI quit Twitter when Elon took it over. It provided me with: Easy access to information and articles about breaking news events. Community. A feed of interesting articles and discussions. Enjoyment gained from following quickly evolving memes, discussions, and jokes. A way to verbalize incidental thoughts, and the pleasure of crafting those thoughts into small nuggets to share with my friends. Of course there are many negative aspects to Twitter, but those are the things I found value in.
- mellosouls 4y agoAll still present (positive and negative) on Twitter, plus the benefit to open-minded people of hearing opinions from all sides, which has improved post-Elon.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoI used to run a bot that broadcasted my town's current alternate side parking rules (for snow removal operations) but after twitter got weird the town decided to make a text messaging service for it. I still use it to follow certain artists but if that subcommunity moves I'll follow them elsewhere.
- kyrra 4y agoeverything is super broken. I can't load help pages. Links to 3rd party sites (that use t.co links) don't work. All kinds of fubar going on.

- TillE 4y agoThat's what gets me about Elon more than anything. It's not the substance of his politics, it's that it's all so shallow, so unoriginal. There are a million interesting discussions to be had in the world today, but he's stuck on mediocre Reddit shitposting from like 2012.
- d23 4y agoIt's even worse than that. It's divorced, misogynistic, unfunny facebook dad memes too [1]. [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1632574090216103937 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1632574090216103937

- Maken 4y agoCreating original content is hard.
- rokizero 4y agoIs there any information on the 467 error? Doesn't appear to be standard. Any ideas or other companies using 467?
- cdash 4y agoWorks fine.
- guessbest 4y agoWorks here
- azangru 4y agoThey fixed it :-)
- cratermoon 4y agoWhat is http code 467? Something Twitter made up?
- _zzaw 4y agoWhat, they didn't go with something like 420, or even 69? I guess there's still one aspect of the company that Musk hasn't "fixed" yet...
- somehnguy 4y agoHe'll probably bring this back, claim to have invented it, and ban/threaten to sue anyone who says otherwise: https://evertpot.com/http/420-enhance-your-calm https://evertpot.com/http/420-enhance-your-calm
