You can livestream there?
- I think once upon a time, some dumb politician used it to announce something dumb and it didn't work lol
- Yeah, don't you remember when some rich guy tried to livestream and it was broken most of the time?
- I really thought they got rid of that future, you know after the absolute dumpster fire it's launch was, like it doesn't look good when your launch stream is buggy and barely runs
I can't wait to see the site formerly known as Twitter to go out of business.
- Formerly in business website formerly known as Twitter.
- to be fair, it's still known as Twitter as well, just not officially named that
  
  (i do realize this also applied to prince)
X. what is that a porn site?
And nobody noticed...

Maybe calling a hero cave diver a pedo wasn't a great idea, Elon
Who the fuck still uses Twitter?

This is like a press release about a random gopher farting in the woods in Prague - this "news" is mildly relevant to a total of 7 people in the entire universe.
- An ungodly amount of people do, there's no point in pretending otherwise.
  
  Reality is much less people than previous. Careful of the metrics you're looking at when they originate with elon - he's notorious for creative accounting with the equivalent of counting a Twitter "impression" as anyone who typed a "t" into their search bar.
- Elon fanboys mostly, I think.
  
  News related agents can't seem to quit either.
what about that good ole "free" speech elon?
- He was misquoted... it's "fee speech".
  
  Freedom ain't free?
  
  I should go.
- Free Speech, now only $8/month!
Alternatively: Twitter announces end of livestreaming feature - gives up to Twitch and YouTube.
Well, that's good. The less features the site has the better. Here's to hoping they'll fade to obscurity!
Anyone here that still uses twitter - why do it when there are alternatives? If they continue losing users, all your favorite sources of entertainment and such will just move to different platforms too! It's a win win.
- I exclusively use it because content creators I follow are stubborn and won't leave the platform. I regret every time I'm forced to open it because it's mostly spam now, but they won't go elsewhere
  
  They use it because you visit
I used #Twitter to get information from a variety of sources using #Quacker, all the way until they decided to basically prevent non-registered users to browse the website. Now you literally have to login to access the tweets, or see any comments, which is ludicrous. It's not that generic public forum it used to be any longer and I don't understand how they are expecting to get any meaningful ad revenue there.

#Mastodon is gazillion times better, has a normal community, albeit with a smaller user base, but that is probably a plus, since you don't get so many weirdos.
This seems like a distopia where only rich people can control the video streams that people watch.

Thankfully X isn't a monopoly
They also made analytics premium, wierdly enought noone seems to have made a stink about that one
oh no. whatever shall I do.
Fuck Twitter and all, but this seems fair enough.
Meanwhile in meville, population myself:
So rich nazis basically. Neat
