Functionality has been getting noticeably worse

-Clicking on topics in the Trending tab is frequently returning search errors and invalid pages

-tweets are frequently failing to post and needing to be submitted multiple times

-Tweets are showing as unavailable in browser but showing in mobile

-tweets are showing as unavailable in mobile but showing in browser

-Qt tweets aren't showing the quoted tweet in timeline and only appearing when clicked through

-notifications page is loading slowly and frequently failing to show new notifications

-DM notifications are also not popping up

So yeah, visually it still looks like it's working albeit with a clunker UI than 2 months ago. But the functionality has been getting noticeably worse the more features they add and the more "micro features" musk impulsively kills then back tracks on

genuinely curious, how do you know people are quitting? i've never been on twitter, i just read the mainstream media outlets which is mostly stories about what people are saying on twitter

Lots of articles about celebrities that have quit (being able to directly tag and talk to a celebrity is one of the big draws of twitter)

And lots of big accounts saw a large loss of followers, due to all of the deactivations

I've deleted my account, and about half of my friends have given up on twitter too

Twitter has become a cesspool of Elon fanboys. Twitter's just going to become Parler at this rate.

Wait until the FTC is done with them.

will be waiting a long time. If twitter can ban trump, they can do whatever they want. but you keep hoping that anything you dont like leads to the government coming after people.

The FTC has been hitting twitter long before Musk ever made his offer. The big risk he’s inherited with the purchase of twitter is that the FTC and twitter had certain operating agreements twitter was bound to. If he’s found in violation of those agreements the buck in theory stops with him. Unlike the SEC or DOJ the FTC has a history of massive fines and handing out referrals for criminal charges that have lead to jail time.

Will Musk likely see a Courtroom let alone a jail cell I find that unlikely. But he’s also not doing himself any favors with his actions.

Right. Pitchfork crew going crazy (not that he doesn’t deserve a lot of it). But id take them more serious if they were more objective.

Plenty of ammo to hate the dude, don’t need to invent reasons.
