      Digg is still around. MySpace is still a thing. Hell, you can still download and run ICQ (though I think it’s run by a Russian company now).

      There’s not a lot of real dead products on the internet. They just fade slowly behind the bushes, and I think X/Twitter is getting there.

      I’m just waiting to see how he uses this as a vehicle for tax evasion, or requests some kind of public bailout.

      now why on earth would an apartheid beneficiary do something like spend billions of dollars to dissolve an online platform used as a way for his political rivals to organize against him?

      no it’s because he is a dumb silly goose making wacky decisions! this was definitely not a targeted and malicious investment to make his enemies go away

    I used to interact with twitter at least a dozen times a day. Probably double that, really.

    Since January it’s been 0 times a day.

    Oh well.

        I’m not OP, but with my follow list it was great for learning little bits over the course of the day. Astronomy tidbit, history tidbit, anthropology tidbit. I also followed some pretty funny 280-character comedians, and participated in the odd hashtag game, but for the most part it was about learning things I didn’t know.

    And absolutely nothing of any value was lost. Unless you’re a reporter needing a low-effort article, I guess.

    Now even tweet previews are busted in Discord.

    You can’t even share tweets without using something like fxtwitter.

    PITA

    All’s well that ends well. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way to the garbage heap of internet failures.

      LOL LOL the only reason Paypal succeeded is because they kicked him out. He wanted to call it x.com too. All those other companies that he supposedly runs? They are doing much better now that he’s obsessed with Twitter and not bothering the actual smart people who work there.
