X 17+

I’ve been on several different platforms & been banned for my opinion & use of free speech, including TS. On X I’ve pushed the boundaries & I’m still accepted, with a active account. The only thing I’m aware of not being permitted, is, anti semitism, that I agree hate or violence is not free-speech or American. X offers a worldwide of information & the opportunity to come together, unite & the chance to know other’s in a new light, the only platform where the owner interacts within the community & if you are lucky enough to receive a msg from Mr Musk himself, I for one can testify that it doe’s happen & for a poor nobody, a deplorable that means a heck of a lot! So come aboard, hard to tell who you might get to know or where it will lead but 1 thing is for certain X is the platform to be!! Keep your head low watch out for the scammer, yes they’re everywhere, even praying on Patriot’s, but other than that, my time on X has been a good learning experience to know in general we’re just trying to be a worldwide family! Peace and Love to all my friends on X that considers a poor boy, Patriot Family!! To the main man himself, I give thanks for this platform & all he keeps doing to aid humanity!!!

Twitter was perfectly fine before it was bought out, and while the state of the app isn’t a 1 out of 5 overall, the changes since surely have been.
I never thought we’d see a pay to win system implemented in social media but on any “post” as it’s called now you see every blue checkmarked comment before any others when almost all of these comments are irrelevant or just impression farming. You have to scroll past every “twitter blue” user to get to any other which is really funny when the new owner of Twitter brags about wanting true free speech. He’s also announced other ways users can pay to have a bigger voice in the future so it’s only going to get worse.
There has also been a major increase in ads, although it fluctuates a lot so I’m sure they’re tampering with that system behind the scenes but X corp is just trying to squeeze out as much money as they can after losing billions on a horrible business situation so I understand why that’s going on.
Realistically the app experience warrants a 4 out of 5 as is because the base idea is still the same but this was my favorite social media app and it has gotten noticeably worse since the change and pretty much every change they’ve made has been a negative for the user. Except community notes that is a huge W and deserves at least an entire star alone.

I never liked Twitter before Elon but gosh, he some how made me hate it even more. The reason for this review specifically, however, is the glitch(?) that happens when attempting to change your display name. I personally have 5 twitter accounts (personal & business) so the inconvenience of being locked out of one of my more insignificant ones isn’t that bad. However, after troubleshooting, logging out, logging back in, even changing my password, I’ve still been unable to regain access to my account. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if I could log into one of my other accounts, but I can’t. There’s a blank screen with the only button being “options”. When selected the options are “help” and “sign out”, which I’ve already attempted. This issue never happened before Elon, at least not to me. The increase in promotional tweets, ads, and paywalled features that were once free have resulted in the downfall of twitter as a whole.

I was able to log back into one of my other accounts briefly by opening a dm that was sent to it. As soon as I tried to re-add the account I’m locked out of, the same black screen appeared. I knew of this issue prior to attempting to change my display name. I had changed my display name on another one of my accounts since hearing about it so I didn’t think it would affect me.

All in all, my experience with Twitter has been disappointing at best.
