I used to get hours where it looked like it had frozen. It wouldn't refresh. None of the images would load, and the likes and retweets wouldn't register. Anyone else the same?
I’m gonna miss dan44336749111 with his blue tick asking “whaaaat about the hostaaaaaages” and dan4444333768222 with a blue tick complaining about net zero crap or wealth taxes being unfair or defending Rees-Mogg’s altruism 😐
Between that and the constant auto-refresh that Twitter does, it gets annoying quick. I like to look on social media for short amounts of time and Twitter seems to make that impossible, like they are trying to steal our time or something. Social media should be informative not addictive.
I went back briefly yesterday. My ‘for you’ feed was anything but. Full of slideshows of death and people describing themselves as ‘far right thugs’. I didn’t stay long.
I don't mind the existence of ads - if something is free for us to use it has to make money somehow - but the incredible intrusiveness of Temu, crypto, gambling and dropshipping scams on X is too much to bear.

I don't miss being bombarded by ReformUK gremlins I never followed.
I missed whatever golden age it had, but it's a truly horrible place now.
Up the Bluesky!
Twitter this ain't!
