This is hilarious

Too bad many good devs and journalists are on twitter mostly, I'm gonna have to create an account just to follow a dev I like...

Unless you guys have a solution to

1)access content without an account

2)"follow" someone, or jist be alerted for new posts (perhaps with a monitoring tool , the kind which scans page for changes?)

Geez, Elon, I already deleted my account two weeks ago! I don't need more convincing to leave!

He's banking on the name "Twitter" still meaning something and there being no viable alternatives. Threads has really shown that twitter isn't as ubiquitous as we all assumed.

Does anyone actually DM in Twitter? I’m sure the checkmark bots do it not realizing 85% of the other checkbots are propaganda bot accounts too lol

If you're one of those artists/animators that, for whatever reason, thought basing the entirety of their commission system via Twitter was a good idea, they're definitely going to be affected.
