You're still using Twitter?

Y'all just laughing at Twitter when this isn't just a Twitter thing.

It's ok when it happens to them! /s

May it wither and die. I would post my ID on the bathroom wall at Heathrow before I would submit it to what remains of Twitter.

And nothing of value was lost.

He means losing the platform because of -> FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

FUD has nothing to do with what this is about.

[–] Kyouki@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

Sure, just echoing his wording to why "nothing of value" was lost as the person sees the platform as such.

What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it's not even useful for that anymore.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 9 points 9 hours ago

My feed right now.

Does the EU already have legislation demanding the age verification? I’ve so far only heard about the UK‘s Online Safety Act being effective since last week, but not about anything in the EU (yet).

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

DSA allegedly has provisions, but I still have to check it

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 11 hours ago

the eu made twitter better by hiding all the content

[–] missingno@fedia.io 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Estimates? That seems even more problematic.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 12 points 11 hours ago

That's an improvement.
