X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.
Because I like it.
Hope that clears things up for you.
Yes, but you’re not a celebrity, government official, weather station or corporate marketing office. The question is why they remain on ex-Twitter when they really need a more stable platform.
It’s fine that common folk like Gab or Parler or Truth Social, but they’re not great for official business, And now, neither is the ex.
Weird response.
The question wasn’t “why are you the celebrity on twitter?”
There are still seven million MySpace accounts as of 2019. So yes, any half-functional social media platform is going to be utilized by rando loyalists.
But Pre-Musk Twitter was the general announcement platform for most VIPs, what has been blighted with problems ever since Musk took over, and one-by-one, they’re departing, as ex-Twitter becomes increasingly brand-unsafe.
So the question (as I read it) is not why is Twitter not empty? but why is Twitter still full well populated? Your answer because I like it doesn’t clear things up. I can find seven million people who still like MySpace.
I think the answer is more nuanced than that. I also think as VIPs and services find alternative places to make their announcements and engage fans and constituents, we’ll see ex-Twitter bleed out its general population.
It really does, though. Especially if you’re not looking for some ulterior motive and you just enjoy the platform.
I follow a bunch of scientists and I can’t think of another place that would allow me to, say, follow the LK-99 fiasco in real time the way twitter allowed me to.
I was able to watch people synthesize stuff pretty much live.
So to answer your question again, I like it, so I use it. I can only imagine lots of other people are also using it because they somehow like it.
Again, hope that helps you understand something so simple.
Wait until you find out about IRC…
Which scientists were synthesizing it there?
