I barely use the app anymore and half the time stuff isn't loading at all or is broken in obvious, overt ways.
Just ... stunning.
I use the app for a couple hours a day (according to my iPhone weekly reports), and have barely noticed any degradation since "the takeover". (Notwithstanding the obvious outage happening currently).
There's been a few minor glitches for sure, but then what large service is immune? Facebook, Exchange, AWS, etc. have all had notable outages this past year, and the Apple Services I regularly use (Apple Music, Siri, etc.) "fail" more often for me in daily use.
Maybe you're trying to do something more advanced than me, or are using a less reliable platform somehow, but generally I find all the "Twitter is so dead" talk being confirmation bias from folks that really want it to fail in light of recent changes.
In my ideal world, Twitter - or something similar - succeeds. I don't care much about the politics of the ownership because that's generally going to be an iffy subject with anything coming from the valley.
But to regularly use it and not see things breaking here and there every day (not even including the times when the API is borked or it's only recommending Elon Tweets in your feed or a person's timeline won't load no matter what, not being able to send a tweet, etc.) ... I have to imagine you're very lucky. There was about 11 hours when people had exceeded their daily tweet quota by trying to send a single tweet. You don't remember stuff like that? It happens multiple times a week in the last few months.
I'm certainly not doing anything advanced. I'm mostly a casual user.
It's really been kind of miserable to use the app and I only open it once or twice a day. It had issues before but never all at once like this
Hiring for twitter is going to be quite expensive, nobody is taking this up without huge payoff and probably upfront given Elon pre disposition not to honor severance etc
Either he shuts it down at the point or he has to spend a lot of money .
IMO More likely he shuts down and blame any range of external factors were conspiring to take him down rather than accept he decisions were wrong
Like.. wokeness was annoying but the trash heap of craziness it is today is 5 steps backward. My feed is nothing but conspiratorial nonsense.
If twitter was “tilted left” before, today it seems to have capsized rightward.
I honestly can't believe that not only did he welcome back actual Nazis that were previously banned, but he sold them checkmarks that let them have outsized influence.
