Plenty of pro-Russian propaganda was floating around it to, and being repeated by shills and vatniks.

If you keep it on the Following tab and not the For You tab, you only get the feed from the accounts you're following. I only follow a few Irish football/sports pages so only see news related to that and look at it every few days for a few mins and I'm caught up.

In saying that, the Irish football accounts now are an embarrassment run by kids, had to unfollow the majority of them.

What's the craic with Twitter being called X now?
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I'm guessing Elon Musk must be smart to be a billionaire but his rebranding of twitter is absolutely thick.  You dont destroy a brand that has proven hugely successful.

The motivation for the range of changes is bewildering. Is his goal to absolutely rebuild it?

For years he's spoken about a SuperApp called "X" that was his end goal, wanted it to be a combo of Whatsapp, Twitter, Revolut from what i can see. This is the first step from him.

Losing the "Twitter brand", is nuts. Probably one of the best known brands in the world and he just clears it from the face of the earth. Marketing companies couldn't make that brand strength if they tried. The blue bird was literally on the bottom of every TV show, it was it's own verb etc. Madness.

The new one is as I said above, his long term plan, but first impressions aren't great. Indonesia banned it because of the connotations with "X-rated" material. App store are blocking it because Apps need to have more than one letter in its name. 

Probably go down as the worst branding decision of all time. The only thing I can think, is that he's made such a mess of twitter, that he just wanted to start afresh

You wonder if he even knows the mess he's made of it though. The development teams are now just Elon sycophants after he cut loose anybody that didn't fall in line. Every tweet he makes is flooded with his blue checkmark fanboys proclaiming him internet Jesus, claiming that he has transformed Twitter into a bot-less free speech paradise.

No billionaire can be considered 'normal', but this guy is genuinely a weirdo. I think he'll just do whatever he likes with Twitter. For him it's like paying to be the most popular kid on the playground. Amazing that somebody so wealthy and powerful can be such a loser.

Just google what he called his son or maybe it's a daughter Confused. When you read that then the rebranding of Twitter to X makes sense Thumbs Up
It would damage this forums' reputation

Some amount of pro Israeli nonsense appearing on my X feed now

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
