Twitter launching what looks like a reddit competitor on the same day third party apps shut down

Participating in an Elon ran version of Reddit sounds just as fun as being launched into the sun would be

Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.

In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.

As if the average reddit user would fall for this, Twitter is awful.

And on the same day when they fucked up their infrastructure so badly that they had to rate-limit all users. Yeah, okay Elon, you can host my community for me.

I guess if you were looking for a platform that is run by a large man child, is somehow on shakier ground than Reddit, and will suck then this is good news?

I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔

If you go for this your dumber than the average bear. Lest we forget, Twitter pioneered screwing over third party devs, twice! Once back in 2012 and then more recently

Lol no thanks.

They can't handle Twitter and they want to reboot reddit?

It warms my heart that Twitter spent millions developing a product that will never take off ❤️

Look at that, spez's idol being opportunistic against him. Dumbass.

I'm part of the F-Zero Twitter community and the most action it gets is from bots that somehow break into the invite only community. (Thanks Elon)

It's a cool idea but suffers from the same kind of insulation of discord, which end up running counter to the openness twitter got popular for.

the last place I would want to chat would be with a twitter group

The kind of people still left on Twitter are not the people I want to be sharing a reddit-like community with

Joke’s on them. I left Twitter months ago.

Haha and to think Spez tried to suck Musk's dick a week ago during one of his interviews.

As if the people fleeing reddit's API lockdown would have any interest in this.

Imagine getting schooled on his to run your social media compant by Elon Musk...

twitler can eat an entire bag of dicks

Right now, they can't even maintain their Infrastructure because Elon Musk fired more than half of the employees, how will they be able to maintain this?

Also on the same day that they block people from viewing tweets without logging in. No thanks.

The free market fosters innovation.

The invitation:

Twitter is a shitty platform especially after it was taken by Elon. No way I'm going there for community-based discussions.

So let me get this straight. Spez makes Elon-inspired changes to Reddit. Spez fucks up his own platform, and then Elon sucks up what leftovers he can?

Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Nothing about that sounds inviting or intriguing. They can keep that shit.

Oh now this is fascinating. Especially after spez has been sucking Musty’s dick. He is such a pick-me.

I’m about to grab all kinds of gourmet popcorn to watch the train wrecks coming from these CEOs.

Twitter is as bad as the reddit app with its ads, no thanks.

Too bad they suck just as bad, considering, and stopped people without a user account from traversing the site. Bye Mark, Elon and Spez. You will not be missed!

I'm pretty sure this had launched a bit earlier, but yeah, pretty convenient timing.

Communities have been part of Twitter for some time, but they haven't pushed it much
