My favourite thing about this is that the fact that Musk managed to set up a ddos attack on his own website through poor decision making is barely worth mentioning :lol:

I wonder what % of their total monthly visits come from non-registered users?

Looks like it might be about 10%

https://backlinko.com/twitter-users

206m DAUs of which 187m are 'monetizable' (i.e. they're known, have logged in etc)

So Musk appears to have come up with a cunning way of reducing Twitter's reach by about 10% over night

I only ever read anything if someone links it on a group or forum.

Now instead of going to the app it takes me to the web version and wants me to log in every time. Instead of having the occasional little browse I now just click back and carry on elsewhere.
Cheers, Harry

They could do with sorting their shit out as well mind - Insta recently seems to have gone to pot, showing me posts I've seen 3-4 days prior.

Did they actually take legal action?

Or was it only threatened/possible they could?

Speaking of Twitter, I’m downloading Threads now. I think it could be a winner due to the fact it’s tied to Instagram, which makes it a shoe-in for many IG users who didn’t like Twitter.
