X is still good and very usable. I’m a heavy user, and I would love to be critical but the service HAS improved despite all the criticisms.
It’s getting better - I see improvements weekly to things. All the huff and fuss is from people I’m constantly wondering if they were even users prior to the Elon takeover. There was a large vocal contingent that hated twitter even prior to Elon on here, who again complained and often would note they didn’t have accounts but the service was still terrible.
The BBC and the rest should realize the service is still worthy, and Elon will allow people he disagrees with on the platform.
im an user since 2010 its def been worse. translation service works half of the time since the takeover, i see a shitton of useless tick marked content in my feed, the "Following" tab goes worse, the new ads on the responses are awful, and random position-jumping feed updates still happen. service has not gone better in any way
It’s loads wayyy faster. I cannot understand how you haven’t experienced that. What about the fact the service hasn’t gone down practically once? Don’t you remember twitter going down for 9-10 hour stretches every 2-3 months before under new ownership? what about begging for new features and never getting anything except a new font? Elon’s twitter ships constantly (not all improvements per say) but aren’t you happy at least their shipping something?
I have been on since 2010 - you need to constantly (and always had too be) pruning your followings to remove the duds. The ‘following’ tab is only as good as your personal filter. That counts for before or after Elon
