Fuck Twitter. Twitterites need to grow up and move on.
Easy for most of us casual posters in the west to do. What sucks is that it was the platform for legit entities to transmit information from for years. Those accounts can't just up and leave a readily as us response accounts

Now his acts will be even more stupid and attention-seeking.
Bring back Twitter
I've never had an account on the service before or after the rebrand, and for the three or so people who I occasionally glance at the accounts of, I normally use nitter.net.
However...was there actually any significant functional difference associated with "X" rebrand?
The most-significant technical shift that I was aware of was many years back, when they increased the tweet character limit.
Nope, the rebrand was just for Elon’s ego.
There isn't supposed to be, but with the number of engineers and devs he fired a long with his whimsical attitude towards changing things, well, things have broken.
Embeds seem to be hit or miss. The two factor auth API went down for awhile. I'm not a big Twitter person. I'm sure there's more to list.
