Not only copycats, but there's an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.

Lmao, I can't see what's in your link because I don't have a ~~twitter~~ 𝕏 account.

Lol! What a clueless and brain dead move that was by Muskypoo to lock the site behind a login. I used to begrudgingly give that site viewership when people linked to it, despite hating it, but now I'll avoid clicking every link that points there. Plus all government agencies and corporate businesses that have been using Twitter for official announcements will need to move off the platform. The government can't force people to sign up for a private website just to get emergency notices. Give me a break!
