The fediverse really needs to work on usability, but this is yet another example of why monolithic services can never be the long term solution.
I don't know if I should be laughing or crying. It's readily apparent that Musk and Spez don't understand their product. Like, at all. Governments, politicians, NGOs, and businesses use Twitter because of the broad audience. It works as a platform for announcements because anyone can access it.
Locking it down to only Twitter users kills this. It isn't going to help ad revenue either to reduce the audience.
I saw some people say this was a tech issue and not a policy change, and that better be the case if Twitter wants to survive. They lose their last competitive advantage otherwise.
I thought Twitter had always required a sign in. I've never had a Twitter account so I'm always locked out.
Lol, same
Either, or both. The Fediverse is the way forward for government announcements.
It's pretty wild. Users are inherently lazy. Give a decent product where you can have a positive ROI on user engagement and sit back to rake it in.
But actively be hostile to users and they are fickle as can be.
I was on Reddit for 16 years with over 100k karma.
And I've deleted the app I was using for it which they broke and switched app and habits over to Lemmy in less than 24 hours.
Nothing like hubris with a dash of greed to ensure success for one's competition.
