Man, all those accounts posting linktrees when they had a chance were right.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Agree this is dumb, it’ll get reversed.

Advertisers abandoning Twitter at speed and in numbers.
Investors pulling out of Tesla at speed and in numbers.

No reason to. Company is doing better than ever by any engagement metric. It was bankrupt last year, so it will take a while to turn around. What's happening is largely what happens behind the scenes in any large scale software project, it's kind of revolutionary he's been willing to try this. We've already had customers ask about more what they are incorrectly calling "open beta", but it's really getting features out in front of users instead of testers.

When you do a double post you can just delete the more recent one if it's still the newest post in this thread

I tried to delete a double post the other day but couldn't. Maybe if it makes a new page, you can't?
