I hate that logo. I glanced at the subject and thought the X Window System was standardizing remote audio over the X protocol.
I came here to say the say thing! >:(
No disrespect intended, but surely I’m not the only one who’s tired of Twitter and Reddit news polluting this space.
I am, but I think this story is actually a somewhat noteworthy.
There’s also a new “Enable audio and video calling” toggle within the app’s settings, which says you can “turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with.” It includes options to allow audio and video calls from only people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all three.
Five bucks says that when basically no one enables this it will be turned on by default for everyone to receive calls from verified users within the next 8 weeks.
Oh and the only way to turn it off will to be a verified user…
video calls
The idea I would have to put clothes on to use Twitter is disorienting.
Any more than using it in the first place?
tbh it’s not that bad for me. Between using a private account, having my feeds tuned, and using autoblockers for magats and crypto shills, I don’t get ads or much of the crazy and/or aggravating shit. I have a feed mostly of art, photography, nature, history, generally interesting stuff and cute animals. If I want politics, I have a list for that.
Yeah but why work so hard to curate something good on a platform that is painfully obvious in its attempts to sabotage open communication and foment a far right message?
It was already curated pre-Musk, and idgaf about whether or not you or anyone else on this platform has an issue with me still using it to keep up with positive things in spite of him. Lemmy is ok, possibly even fine, but it actually is severely lacking in certain kinds of content, while also having it’s share of negative assholes with their own negative asshole messages.
Ah, finally! I’ve been wanting a way to attempt to talk with people over a service whose basic functionality is spotty at best. I’m sure this functionality that no one asked for will be just what we haven’t been looking for.
Another brilliant checkers move on the 4D chessboard, by Elon!

Oh look…another feature no one asked for from a company no one cares about anymore.
So tired of seeing that logo and articles about the shitshow that moron turned the company into.
This is beyond stupid.
I don’t use Twitter much, but I doubt that it’s that much of a change. It’s had some kind of streaming functionality for some time. I’ve seen people do podcast-style interview things with it on an occasion or two.
