Wow, this seems like an unnecessary dig at X.
- constantly 3y agoHow so? Aside from the name change X was exactly the same experience that Twitter had been giving for a decade or more.

Twitter artificially boosted its new owner's tweets, the site regularly returned errors after shutting down data centers, and users who were previously banned for hate speech were allowed back on the platform. And while 3rd party apps might not have had huge adoption relative to the size of twitter, I know a few people for whom that was the last straw.
