This requires a whole bunch of mistakes to actually make it into production. Twitter HQ must be an absolute dumpster fire.
Musk just signs off their printed code.
Who knew firing most people keeping it running would have negative consequences 🤔
They’re just serving code directly from GitHub at this point.
No way they have CD set up. The interns are raw-dogging that shit through FTP, like in the good old days
They’re all interns now, right?

Absolutely funny move… if only Musk hadn’t cut large swaths of the team that could forsee these issues and patch them preemptively.
The Onion can take the day off.
Hope there is a compilation of all the post musk Twitter/X fuckups!
I hope they use space-twitter.com to do it.
This doesnt make sense though. The links go from being twitter.com to become x.com it doesnt turn every x into the word twitter which would make no sense for his xitty plan to force people to say x
It doesn’t make sense to push for anyone smart but it’s the equivalent mistake as forgetting to check “Whole Word Only” on your Find and Replace function.
And surely they have a mechanism to test it in actual Twitter data, like “run this change and show me 50 random, unique samples.” That should be the very minimum for something like Twitter.
who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?
not only a genius but ta soooper genius.
I just can’t imagine the galaxy level intellect that can take a brand whose name was the action and completely ruin the branding and change it to something generic.
X’ing is an action… it’s even on signs
You know he did on purpose right? He wanted to destroy it and make unfucuntional. Twitter was a great place for people to organize and allowed people to get access to breaking news faster.
Also progressive politicians and activists could gain a following and get their ideas to millions.
Also it was a great way to take grievances straight to corporations. If you had problem or terrible service and posted to Twitter most times they jump to fix the issue since your post could be seen by their followers etc.
It had a lot great benefits and was a nice tool to fight against the 1%. He saw that and why he wanted it so bad.
It’s also why he destroying it all done on purpose.
If he wanted to destroy it, why not just shut it down?
Because he wants to also use it to push fascism into the mainstream. The fact that people still use the site and won’t stop posting articles about Elon just shows that people still care about the site.
I say we focus on an alternative site and make it mainstream and fuck x or Twitter whatever the hell he wants to call it.
I think you’re giving him way too much credit. Ever since the PayPal days he had this idea for an, “everything app,” a digital-marketplace/wallet/messaging/social media/anything-else-you-could need-online-app called X. The concept and name are profoundly stupid, but he was so dedicated to his vision he got booted from PayPal because he wouldn’t give up on it. I think it’s much more like he legitimately believes he can make Twitter into this bloated super-app (and maybe make some changes for the right-wing trolls that support him along the way) rather than slowly killing the app he payed $44 billion to aquire.
Honey we’re out of paper, can you go to twittererotwitter.com to order more?
That’d be twittererox.com I think? As far as I know it’s only replacing “twitter.com”

I hardly use twitter now, but is it true that Posts on someone’s profile are now sorted by likes rather than chronological?
Nightmare fuel
Isn’t that generally how Lemmy and Reddit organize posts?
No, on users profiles they are organized chronologically by default, and you can sort them by votes, both on Reddit and on Lemmy
Ah, I see. Above commenter said “someone’s profile.” I misread that.
Is this from the same guy who wants to turn Formerly Known as Twitter into a banking and job search app?
That was an insane bug. But I’ve read via mr.Krebs on Mastodon that Twitter apparently fixed this grave error in the mean time.
I expect none less from Elon and his band of misfits. what a train wreck
