Miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation. (lemmy.world)

I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.

~~Twitter~~ X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.

The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?

I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.

Reminds me of the old OS X Leopard welcome animation.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/G9oIlXuaa3s?si=2wosEwp-_iZS3I7V

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Interesting, it was released in 2011.
