A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've never used Twitter, but on occasion been linked to something there. So if that's intentional they're killing off that kind of traffic on purpose. It seems all these corpo social media sites are monetizing themselves to death.
This is actually the interesting part of this move for me. Organic traffic into the platform from google searches, websites (like news orgs and such) that link directly to the tweets as sources, etc. if that’s not going to work, that will likely tank their engagement.
