Every time i saw a screenshot of these i was really confused why they were still around despite Musk being Musk.

Nobody should use that app. It is a scurge to humanity.

Folks need to make the switch to literally anything else

If you still use twitter (no, asshole, you don't get to own a letter of the alphabet - fuck off) then you are part of the problem.

Wow, not too long after Facebook adopted the same tactic. They chose to drop their previous processes in favor of having their users take care of it.

Sounds like this is just Twitter struggling to run their platform in the wake of a data center fire though.

Oh no, nuance??

Shut it down! Shut it down!

Why would anyone with any hint of common sense "raise questions" about this. There are no questions here.

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because the notes were not removed, they're just not working due to data center problems right now. Or, at least, that's enough of a possibility to raise questions.

Oh noes: a private company that has no duty to challenge falsehoods has given up any pretense of giving a fuck.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They asolutely should and likely do have a duty to challenge falsehoods.

The word private makes people feel like it isnt anyone's business but that isnt the case.
