So the people launching a new Twitter under the name Twitter launched their thing so I signed up. Turns out they have an AI scanning tweets for "truth" and it currently has no idea what it's doing. Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.

There's obviously going to be a takedown so owner is likely going to earn what they can and then bail the second X's lawyers send a cease and desist. I can't see any honest or altruistic motivation to do this.

What a fuckin grift.

“Reserve your username for $20 or you like Nazis” is the message I’m picking up from this
