#RIPTwitter is trending on Elon’s somewhat newly acquired social media platform, and people are hot! Yours truly included. Listen, I know people think Twitter is nothing but trash, but I argue it’s all in the way you use it and who you follow.
I’ve been on Twitter since it was created back in 2006, albeit under several different usernames and accounts where I would start one, delete it, and start another. This is possibly one of the reasons this new and, hopefully, temporary rule has been put in place, to clean up the joint and get rid of some dead weight.
Whatever data scraping and system manipulation means. But I suspect it’s to clean up the platform. Some say it is to get people to buy into his blue checkmark subscription service. Maybe. And so far, it isn’t evident how long this new “temporary” rule will be in place. Or at least I haven’t been able to find any information on how long the outage will last.
