The Twitter thread

Yet another screwup from Musk:



Oh dear.

Musk admits X may be doomed to fail as new glitch wipes out pictures from former Twitter platform

Glitch comes after Mr Musk’s X slowed down access to the sites of rival social media platforms

How does that even happen...the brightest of the brightest, serious IT and dev's and experienced techs. Good grief! Wth?

Good. He deserves to fail.

Agreed, ya don't mess with the mojo.

Musk is slowly killing Twitter, not least because of that stupid rebrand to X. Hopefully, he'll eventually be forced to sell it and someone that knows what they're doing will reverse those changes and bring it back to its former glory. Here's hoping, anyway.

‘Musk destroyed all that’: Twitter’s business is flailing after a year of Elon

Advertisers are spending less, regulators are circling, staff is at less than 50% of what it used to be and user numbers are down

If it will ever recover, Twitter (not calling it X) needs Musk out of it and not even that Linda Yaccarion he appointed as CEO can fix it. She's just as much kryptonite as Musk in my humble opinion.

This thread hasn't seen action in almost a year, but here's something that's worth talking about, an upcoming update from Musk that's gonna make X even worse: reducing the power of blocking undesirable users.

Just when you thought he couldn’t make it any worse, Elon Musk has delivered.

The owner of X has already run the social media platform that he bought into the ground financially, but he’s still hard at work in the lab hatching up new ways to make it even more unpleasant. His latest innovation: changing the block feature in a way that makes users more vulnerable to harassment and abuse - and generally makes the platform a worse user experience.

Under the previous feature, if you blocked someone, then that account could no longer see your account or your posts or interact with them. Now the block feature is being made softer: If you block an account, it can’t interact with your posts but it can still view your account and posts. It's unclear exactly when the change will take effect throughout the site, but X has been notifying users that it will be changing soon.

Opinion | Why Elon Musk's latest change to X is the last straw for many users

Elon Musk is throwing a tantrum that could get people hurt.
