      It also promotes your tweets. So now you can have all your tweets at the top, without people immediately seeing that you are a grifter who paid for it. This isn’t going to be abused in a multitude of ways at all.

      They pay so their bullshit gets boosted and now we can’t even see it at a glance anymore. Disinformation in Twitter is going to get real fun.

    I fucking love how news outlets refuse to acknowledge the new name.

    I am all in on only referring to it as Twitter.

      I personally am not willing to gloss over the stupidity of Musk and fix his mistakes. I am calling it X and Xers just to emphasize how stupid he is.

      You’d be surprised how many mindful people have a mastodon profile, “in case twitter finally goes down”, but they didn’t use it to this day…

    Never been a Twitter - or “X” - user, but:

    Isn’t it the whole point to show everyone your blue check mark that you have been approved or something like that? How else would one know that you are the real deal?
