Madness… This is why mastodon exist
Hopefully this is just another step in digging their own grave and that more people realize the importance of mastodon now.
This whole thing is insane. Charging people to be the product that gets advertised to. That’s why cable is dying… same thing.
I don’t need it, so I get to keep my $5.
I don’t need it (Twitter). I have mastodon.
I bet they will excuse it with something like “can you edit your already said words in real life? No? We made it so it would be harder to do that in Twitter.”
It’s also realistic because people with money have a much easier time erasing their mistakes from the public consciousness.
They really missed an opportunity. $5 per use would have been better, and $20 to delete the public edit history. 😁😂
Dumb but at least it’s a new feature behind a paywall and not removing a previously free feature.
This article is from September of last year. Is this still a thing? I cancelled my Twitter account around that time last year and rarely used it when I had it.
