brucoe Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I find it somewhat relevant that I had stopped following Musk a few days ago, slightly before he decided to buy into the platform. I suspect there's a connection there somewhere. I've been finding Twitter to be less and less relevant every day, and if he starts to try to make decisions, even less so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait for Twitter polls to be like old IGN polls where someone would start a thread asking, “how many games you own,” get a bunch of replies, then change the topic to, “how many gay pornos do you own.” 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I will only be okay with an edit button if they also include an easy to access edit history. And edited tweets need to be marked as edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook does this and it doesn’t work well. one alternative is that editing removes all previous engagements (likes, RTs, QTs) but retweets the edited message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Time limit the edit. Most of the time I feel like people catch the errors quickly, so even a 5-10 minute cap probably does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter has been invaluable for other queer and trans people to connect to each other in a world where we often feel alone and isolated. Destroying Twitter would be hard for a lot of marginalized groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
