Maybe not "late" but migrated to a worse host? This Business Insider article from a few weeks ago notes Twitter stopped paying its Google Cloud bill and the contract was due to expire on 6/30

It will continue on, I just don't know if what made it popular (Reddit users passionate about a subject) will still be there.

Really annoying my two most used social media platforms are run by folks that are actively making them worse.
I think you missed my point....when you click on that Reddit link, it shows the Elon tweet from awhile back when he said he would put all major changes to a vote.They have put expensive restrictions on the API causing 3rd party apps like Apollo to shut down.Isn’t Reddit also experience massive problems with their CEO with users shutting down popular threads or did that get resolved?Reddit - Dive into anything

Isn't Instagram part of the Facebook umbrella? Why would that be any more trustworthy or worthy of support than Twitter? Musk and Zuckerberg both seem...well, I generally won't speak ill of people I don't know, so I'll say that they seem about equal in their malfeasances. But Musk produces cars, so at least that's useful.
pollardsvision
Footballguy
Quality of human beings aside, my impression is the Zuck would be less likely to go messing with the noticeable user experience.
Selling data and helping brainwash folks, sure, but that just goes with the territory in social media.
But Zuck seems to, you know, want the product to be successful and for people to want to use it. Which alone might be a major upgrade from Twitter.
Capella
Footballguy
Yea as pollard said musk has made Twitter actively worse and in some cases unusable. Zuckerberg is an all-time bad human but his sites generally work well at least.

Besides the other day twitter has had less issues on my end than previously. Gone are the days when it would go down randomly.I don’t get the hysteria over Musk , no one has done more to move e-card forward and maybe the climate agenda. Musk & Zuckerberg are in the same club, no good guys., shares of gray.
I use instagram to look at Seinfeld/sopranos clips/memes , Labradors and watches and all social media have to up their game but it seems like Zuckerberg has a problem

Update on Twitter's Rate Limits
Twitter
By Twitter
To ensure the authenticity of our user base we must take extreme measures to remove spam and bots from our platform. That’s why we temporarily limited usage so we could detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that are harming the platform. Any advance notice on these actions would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection.
At a high level, we are working to prevent these accounts from 1) scraping people’s public Twitter data to build AI models and 2) manipulating people and conversation on the platform in various ways.
Currently, the restrictions affect a small percentage of people using the platform, and we will provide an update when the work is complete. As it relates to our customers, effects on advertising have been minimal.
While this work will never be done, we’re all deeply committed to making Twitter a better place for everyone.
At times, even for a brief moment, you must slow down to speed up.
We appreciate your patience.

Somehow, I doubt that. The "small percentage of people" has included me and many of those that I follow and my followers.

I’ve never had any meaningful issue, dont understand the hand wringing over a message board.
I can only read 1,000 tweets a day, is that the big deal? And if I want to read 10,000 it’s $8. $0.0008 per tweet.

You don't actually have to read them for them to be counted as being read by you. Open a hashtag or a trending topic and quickly scroll through it without even stopping and all those posts you be considered as being read.
The first day I viewed a few trending topics and the daily music threads/challenges that I look at and was locked out after about an hour and there was no way that I had actually read 300 tweets, but the system thought I did.

Good to see you back, man. You guys over at Discord, fighting the good fights?
The old neighborhood hasn't changed since they shuttered the town forum. Mrs. Curtis -- you remember -- still won't trim her hedgerow and it leads to a constant bustle for the May queen, and we all know she needs her spring clean. Mr. Curtis, oh dear me, he was discharged from the hospital the other day with monosyllabism. Don't tell anybody, though. He's so embarrassed. Just keeps uttering the same thing over and over and over and...oh, would you look at that! The time, where does it go...?

apparently Twitter blocking bots has prevented the Google bot from scanning tweets so now they can't be indexed and searched via the search engine
anyone know if that's just bs?

I can't decide whether the "For You" tab is terrible or fantastic. On one hand, every time I open that tab, I'm inundated with videos involving people getting into fights, road rage incidents, police shootings, etc. It doesn't seem to matter how many accounts I block -- they just keep coming. (No explanation necessary -- I know why the algorithm is pushing engagement-bait). On the other hand, that algorithm also does a good job of showing me accounts that run contrary to the general slant of my "Following" tab, which is good because I want to be exposed to contrary points of view.
Honestly, if they gave me the option to tell the algorithm "No video of any kind in the For You tab," I'd probably spend more time there.

Will definitely be giving this a shot as well. I'm interested to see if any of the major news breakers migrate there - personally, those accounts are the only thing keeping me on Twitter. If Woj, Schefter, etc. join Threads, I have no reason to go back.

Maybe it’s because 90% of my follows are sports related and the other are 9.5% friends that don’t tweet newsie stuff, but my experience isn’t like that at all. My For You tab is almost entirely related to sports. I follow exactly one political commentator that I like and I may get a few political things sprinkled in, but not much. And I get no click/rage-bait stuff other than occasional advertisement tweets.

I get some clicky short video aggregators, and I always seem to see a lot of Twitter accounts that are verified, and have a 'subscribe' option.
Something weird, I follow this guy who is a men's clothing honk, always showing pics of various famous people, and do's and don'ts of men's clothing. He is almost always at/near the top of my For You tab, and so is Car Dealership Guy.
Also, no ads on the For You tab

Kind of interesting that if you follow a lot of political accounts (as I do), the algorithm assumes that you're a violent psychopath who wants to see harm being inflicted on other people. That explains a lot.

Same here . It’s crazy how much violence is being “suggested” for me
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Same here and I really don’t follow that much political stuff. I’ve had to block several large accounts because I don’t want to see violence like that. A funny but harmless brawl at a Waffle House here and there is funny but I don’t want to see dogs being hit by cars, serious fights with weapons, etc.
