A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh no! All the tweets I wasn’t viewing can continue being unviewed!
In all seriousness, I doubt this has the effect Musky boy thinks it will. I imagine he thinks it’ll drive signups to view the content. But us humans have short attention spans - if I can’t view it immediately, I certainly won’t waste more time creating an account to see something. And for the FOMO element - if someone sends me a twitter link and I can’t see it, I’ll just ask for a screenshot because I don’t have twitter. Just further decreasing traffic. But maybe that’s intentional since they’re not paying their server costs. 🤷♂️
