- JSDevOps 2y agoGot to be a podcast or something popular that Donald Trump appeared on
- CryZe 2y agoThat was the time we learned about the changes to the block feature.
- jsheard 2y agoThat, and the TOS update which now requires users to give X blanket permission to use their posts for AI training (previously you could opt-out). Not that AI companies really care whether they have permission right now, but if legal precedent doesn't go their way then coercing users into "giving permission" by burying it within 50 pages of TOS legalese will be the fallback plan.
- ks2048 2y agoA bigger jump seemed to be Aug 28 - Sept 7 (daily likers 200k => 1M+). I wonder why. (also some days are missing there, so maybe something changed in the data collection).
- sumeno 2y agoBrazil banned twitter
- bazzargh 2y agothat was the day they officially announced the change to how blocking worked, notifying all users (the owner had mused about it a month earlier)
