It was a way to view multiple lists at once, your home feed, various accounts, hashtags, your mentions, notifications, DMs, etc. Super useful. I stopped using Twitter altogether when they updated it earlier this year and made it significantly clunkier UX + promised to make it paid.
In other words, "free speech platform" is not actually "free speech platform," rather it is a dogwhistle.
sorry, I X'd out of twitter before X X'd twitter, so I can't actually X about Twitter or X on X,
If I HAD to estimate, I would say it'll be about 6-8 weeks until the API is fully merged. So closeish to 2-3 months. But, I really don't want to estimate.
I doubt it will be less than 2 weeks. But it could be as short as 2-3 weeks.
The API is being written & tested (as in unit tests written) & reviewed (as in code review) ENTIRELY by volunteers, and the important thing is that it works, and is secure. So it will take how long it takes.

just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year

This is a kbin community :P
A little harsh on /kbin given that it's been released for less than two months and the author doesn't even mention this. Otherwise seems reasonable.
Keep in mind that it's in a particular context. It seems a bit ridiculous as a headline, but if they were actively using the branding, it might not seem so ridiculous: imagine Facebook (I will not call them Meta) is already operating a social media site for posting short thoughts called X with the TLD social (hypothetically). And they've been operating it as X for 10 years. Then Elon does this. Clearly Facebook has a suit because that's straight-up infringement.
This is a little more hazy because Facebook isn't actively using their X trademark, and it's not exactly the same as Twitter. But they do hold the rights to it (as far as I can tell from the one tweet (xeet?) about it). And it's not (quite) as ridiculous as it sounds.
Also,
Twitter auto-replied to Insider's request for comment with a message saying that the communications department would get back to us soon.
Is this a euphemism for the poop emoji??
Sorry, why would you not see what your competitors' products look like? Why is this a headline???
We used to rent movies every weekend when I was a kid, and we supported our local video rental store instead of Blockbuster. It was so much fun to decide what to rent! The staff there always knew so much about movies too, and we'd follow their recs often. We watched a bunch of classics and silent films that there's no way would get visibility on streaming libraries today. I wish I'd kept a journal of all the movies we watched, I remember almost no titles now.
