@YeastFace @WelshBrewComp @MadDogBrewCo I'm not running it this year but you can find all the details on the competition website homebrewcompetition.wales

WELSH NATIONAL 2023 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Happy St David's day🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 What better day to announce the return of the Welsh National competition! This year the competition will be on September 23rd, in Cardiff city centre at @MadDogBrewCo, right opposite the beautiful Castle.

14 years here and Helno Muks it all up and I left. Literally only popped on to check ESO status

@JockyUp nope

@anigeluk Are you going to try Threads?

With the new version of Tweetdeck being virtually unusable and soon to be only available to twitter blue subscribers, I'm out. Elno Muks has finally made Twitter so bad I can't tolerate it anymore. See you on Facebook as Mastodon had so little engagement it wasn;t worth it

@eightlittlebits +1 every step he takes appears to be aimed at killing it off and reducing the number of actual real people who use it.

@anigeluk A bit of googling suggests that the "new" tweetdeck is also going to be verified only, or paid for, in 30 days. That basically ends twitter for me, I only use it through tweetdeck and don't get anything like enough from it to actually pay for the junk.

So it looks like I've been forcibly moved to the new TweetDeck, which has obviously been designed by someone who doesn't use or understand the purpose of TweetDeck. Worse still, the option to opt-out seems to have vanished

@eightlittlebits Very strange, as I'm not seeing that option

@anigeluk Just playing with it, looks like if you hit the cog on a column and scroll down there's a clear tweets option.

@dimensionmedia That was still better than normal twitter as I could happily see the home timeline for multiple accounts all in one place. Now they've forced the new version on me, I can;t even do that

@anigeluk It has effectively stopped working if it's only showing the Home timeline (which it is for me).

Sad, but not surprising. Tweetdeck was living on borrowed time even before Musk took over and all it's users knew it including me. It was the last best way to make sense of Twitter made it clear how underappreciated lists were and how "productive" you could be with social.

@CriticalCupcake {{hugs if wanted}} I'm with you there. TweetDeck was the only thing that kept me here when so many others left as it was all that made the site usable for me. Many of the issues other folk were upset about just didn't apply in TweetDeck eg promoted tweets etc

@anigeluk So much has been gutted, The old API that tweetdeck used has already been shut down, there is no going back. This may be the death of twitter for me, I don't see any reliable way to deal with interactions now that isn't going to drive my anxiety nuts.

@eightlittlebits Also not seeing any obvious way to clear columns anymore where you've read the contents like you could on the old version

@eightlittlebits While the notifications tabs didn't appear to be working on the old version, at least I could scan the home feed of multiple accounts in one view. Now there appears to be no way to have multiple accounts on one deck and I need to switch accounts

@paulspencer1973 Sounds like the RSPCA may want to go and have a word
