Elon paywalled Tweet Deck.

Why are people still on there? Twitter has been sold; the old management is never coming back. X is, almost explicitly at this point, a platform meant for crypto scammers and white supremacists, and that is not going to change. If you aren't part of or adjacent to those groups, fucking leave it.

I deleted two weeks ago. I hadn't tweeted in years but I used it to read other people, but I'm done.
I'm hanging on until I get a BlueSky invite. I think a lot of people are doing the same.
- Why? What could you possibly be missing at this point if you just stopped using it?
Niche communities that took years to built up and that I can't find anywhere else. For example Esperanto speakers are quite active on Twitter. They also have their own Mastodon instance, but it is not the same. (I use both now)

Not exactly a twitter user , what is tweetdeck?

The only thing that made twitter useable. No ads. You put your lists of people into columns, so you only saw exactly what you wanted to see. No algos trying to shove "you may like" stuff down your throat.
I use it for work reasons but I'm not paying for it, I'll deal without and start digging into what needs can be fulfilled with mastodon. I stopped using it the first time it broke for a week due to elon and I thought it was over then.
- No algo is the big one for me. Don't have to worry about that with Mastodon. And the advanced interface of Mastodon is also pretty nice.
- I used regular lists on Twitter till I stopped using it a few months ago. No ads, chronological order. It was good
  But people I followed, I started seeing only replies from shitstain bluetlickers so I dropped it for good
- I've never used TweetDeck but there is the Control Panel for Twitter, which makes it usable. It can auto-block all the bluechecks with under a million followers, hide the "For You" tab, block ads, and restore the old Twitter branding.
  Unfortunately the main reason I use Twitter is not the platform itself, but the public figures that are on it. Mastodon (mostly) doesn't have that, though there is a trickle of some coming over.
It was a very popular 3rd party Twitter client that Twitter actually bought way back when.
A desktop Twitter client, meant for power and business users. You could have multiple accounts open at the same time, search for mentions, etc.

The album cover for the 1980 X album Los Angeles would be a perfect logo for Elon's little sandbox.
Good old methylenedioxymethamphetamine, where science said “why not” instead of “why” and took methamphetamine and then tweaked it to also dump hella serotonin on top of already having amphetamine properties of stimulating dopamine, norepinephrine, androgens. It’s no wonder people who abuse it can get seriously depressed from burning out literally every pleasure and stimulation neurotransmitter humans have all with one drug. Ain’t your granny’s pep pills
- Certain substances can change your life from a single "trip"
  With MDMA the promise and peril is... absolutely no interpersonal walls AT ALL. No masks and no fear. Be careful who you trip with.

If he means being on X as in the party drug, and being back in his days i think he means the drugs (x=Ecstasy) were more fun than that shit post paradise that is robbing the the porno and hamster industries favorite letter, then I agree wholeheartedly.

Or he just means was on xhamster, or xporn or so forth, still agree.

Now, back to today's X

I'm just think of it as TruthX. That's closer to what Twitter is becoming anyway.
or maybe xxnx, xgroovy

Nitter is also blocked.

It was back working until a few days ago. I have faith they'll figure out a solution
- And nothing of value is lost.
  The project is cool and worked fine, but the Twitter isn't worth the hassle

If you continue to use this platform, you shouldn't be surprised at something like this.

I definitely gave it up. Not giving dingdong Musk any engagement.

Tweetdeck was so good for getting deal notifications within less than a minute, they crippled the old tweetdeck after the api changes and the new tweetdeck doesnt have sound notifications

And yet you're still using it.

I'm not. Deleted it.

Rent free jesus

Good news for Hootsuite

Is that still in existence?
- Yup. Used by comms people with multiple social media accounts

I have no idea what that is, and I'm very thankful for it.

Never go on Twitter. Try Firefish, it's the fediverse too and it's adorable.
Xanax?
- Nah. X is usually short for XTC which is short Ecstacy which usually is MDMA (which is short for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine)
- No thanks, I don't really know what that is either...

He said, on X.

U took a drug.. so cool .

It's okay for humor to be subversive, without feeling threatened by it as some kind of slippery slope.
- But is it even funny ?
Touch grass ya square
