      Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don’t think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.

      I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re on Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

      Better yet, Lemmy should get the much asked for ability to filter out keywords from our feeds. Musk, Twitter and reddit would be blocked immediately. I’m so sick of them.

        Wasn’t there extensions to do this to reddit and other sites? If so then you can just make your own extension to do that. Problem solved.

    I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

    Elon: “I’m going to delete this thing.”

    Everyone else: “NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?”

    Elon: “O-o-okay! B-b-but I’m going to delete something today! That other thing, then!”

    (Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert’s Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)

    I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.

    Twitter’s going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.

      And he’s so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let’s not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I’m sure that helps his financial situation a lot.

      And I love that there will probably soon be browser extensions specifically to allow users to use custom css on Twitter (assuming they don’t already exist, which they probably do), so those who are still there and really want whatever themes he’s deleting still won’t have to pay him if that’s the plan. Which goes for anything that is handled on the client side, though some might be easier than others.

      Though I gotta admit, I do like them setting dark mode as the default. Black text on white makes sense for paper and ink but for screens it’s just a lot of unnecessary light being blasted at you, wasting energy and making your eyes work harder.

      Think of all the extra kilobytes of bandwidth they will save by not serving the dim theme CSS.

        Well, he did run the company into a revenue-destroying iceberg (in this case, iceberg = Elon Musk), and is now rearranging the deck chairs as the company sinks, so all Titanic references are apt.

      He just needs to chew on bigger, thicker wires. The kinds with beefier plugs on the end of them.
