Twitter is far more than most people think. For me it has brought me into a community of wonderful caring people from all walks of life. There is no class system, all are equal. You could be chatting to a scientist or a road sweeper. Twitter is communicating in real-time, unlike the other popular social media platform, so you know there is nearly always someone there to talk to. There are many different clubs that meet on Twitter using hashtags to come together. There is support, both emotional and sometimes financial. Some who are socially isolated or housebound in real time feel part of a community, Twitter is their lifeline. Some who are suffering a personal tragedy or serious illness are supported and some can share celebrations. Some who are lonely have friends and those friends meet in real time ‘tweetups’. Lost or stolen pets can be publicised and sometimes reunited. Yes there are trolls and not everyone who uses Twitter are nice people, but the good outweigh the bad, and it’s easy enough to block them and to warn others to do the same. Twitter is so much more than you can imagine. Twitter is so much more than just a virtual platform.

Its a nice website for socialising and I enjoy using it although certain tweets should not be seen by younger eyes yet I feel they are too easily accessible for children - pulling them from heaven into hell for committing the sin of lust. They should be children and stay as such until they are adults. Those feelings are a young boys slave thus they must wait until they are older so the slave becomes its darling. Although you your ave when you make an account, you can easily lie about this, for that matter I did it myself - I put no thought into it. I put a random date there as my birthdate and signed up. Sometimes I will also see certain posts on here that seem hateful to certain people such as gay, lesbians and ethnic minorities. Also there are things that may offend transgenders which I believe is bad but I myself don’t support changing your gender or anything like that. You should be what you are - not what you want to be. Thankfully, there are few posts that are like or encourage this, I only see the occasional one or two every time I use the app. I am going to give Twitter a four star rating because although its great for comedy, socialising and posting your thoughts with no censor, it can be quite a toxic environment which I think needs to be worked on to try and remove posts that could be deemed harmful or hurtful to certain groups of people.

This most recent DM update might be the single worst update I’ve ever experienced first hand on any piece of technology ever. It’s not just a UI change that we have to get used to, trying to converse with people in group chats made before this update is absolutely asinine. Gifs will stop working like 2 seconds after you post them, images, videos and gifs now take up more than half of the screen and make it very difficult to speak to people. Clicking on an image or video sent to a group chat will for some unknown reason make the image/video flash on and off the screen, I am very lucky to not be epileptic because this flashing (that isn’t intended to happen) that occurs when you click on a video or image could probably put someone’s health at risk. Speaking of videos, they are so poorly compressed now, if you can stomach the insanely fast flashing, the video will eventually play, in the most pixelated form it could possibly reach. This is, by far, the worst update Twitter/X has received and it’s the worst update I’ve ever experienced. I would rather have Rate Limits back if it meant we could have the old Direct Message/Group Chat system back. I really hope this reaches X HQ or whatever, this update is absolutely atrocious. There are no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Revert the changes, and never make something like this ever again.

My account was permanently suspended despite me not posting anything for 3 months. I appealed twice and both times was sent an unhelpful auto response. X staff members won’t address the actual reason why my account was suspended, and the site won’t allow me to create a new account, despite trying to sign up with completely new details. I’m a SW here in England where it is legal, and I believe I’m being discriminated against for this reason. However, I never posted explicit content, ever - not even nipples! Yet it’s perfectly okay for X to be full of hardcore p*rn & disgusting, extreme fetish videos. And in this sense X is totally unmoderated and typically those accounts don’t get closed down. “Freedom of speech” says megalomaniac Elon Musk; yet I and countless others have been permanently silenced, and not even informed of the reason why. Simply saying “you broke the rules” isn’t an acceptable response as it doesn’t help anyone to understand X’s decision. Because of my permanent suspension I’m now shut out of the SW community on X where I’d previously given and received much needed emotional support in an occupation which can at times feel very isolating. So, if you find your account has been randomly suspended don’t expect to be told the reason why or to be able to recover it. Customer Service is non-existent; therefore, the matter will never be resolved. I’d give zero stars if I could, as this has to be the single worst app experience I’ve ever encountered of any app I’ve ever used.
