I kinda agree with the X/Twitter name change but I really want to stress that it is STILL the same service.

I am a large account/heavy user and it’s still very good.

The worst part was changing how DMs worked. Before you could get in touch with Celebs or famous people and know it was them. Right now it could be a parody account, it’s tough to tell. Is that really pmarca in my DMs or a twitter blue user?

Beyond that I think the site has improved. And it will probably get better and you should hop on.

It’s not just political hell fire (which was ‘nerfed’ if you will, in virality during the for-you algo update). I have qualms too but I really do mean it: the site is still very good.

Nothing advertises desperation more than seeing someone begging people to use the service while dismissing problems with the service in a thread that is literally about a huge problem in the service (but one of a long line of threads about newly-introduced problems with the service).
