I've not had a look myself but hearing mutterings the x rebrand is going terribly due to the obvious well known meaning of x online...

Indonesia apparently blocked the entire site due to the country's porn laws.

Ah. That's another one I hadn't heard of. I just meant Close/error

Well yes. "I'm subscribing to X Blue" is very

Great. The Twitter app has updated on my phone so I now see this edgelord X icon on my screen. It' kind of making me sad and depressed. That such a douchebag can become this influential, and that I continue to use this crap.

Of course but as discussed previously, it's my only source of quick Ukraine rumours, news, and videos.

That seems like a cop out. I don't think you need to feel bad but if it is depressing you to support his product, stop using it. You are not trapped and I can't imagine close attention to a war is mood boosting.

[Tamas]

I think you are reading more into the word depressed than I meant, which is my fault.

[garbon]

I know. You aren't actually all that bothered to use his app.

I guess its similar to being annoyed by some of the editorials and a lot of the clickbait titles on the Guardian but still frequenting them because of the news updates. With the difference is that the platform provider and the content creators are different in this case.

The x for Belgium looks a lot like the x dexia bank had before it turned into a financial disaster in 2008.

Past year's twitter shenanigans have at least had the effect that twitter is used a bit less in what are supposed to be serious news outlets.
