Brian Ward 💩

I'm not going to be sticking around for the Elon shitshow, in case it wasn't obvious. Not deleting the account yet because I'm not fickle, but I also know I've just about reached my limit of this nonsense. You can find me at @brianward" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.online/@brianward. Hope to see you there! ✌️

Yet another terrible thing: techcrunch.com/2025/04/03/x-m…

Imagine getting banned on YouTube for saying follow me on Twitter & Instagram and posting a link

@benedictevans Definitely Gil Amelio. Everybody deserves a second chance!

Neat! It's happening. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

@zats Happens all the time to me. And I’m using the old tab UI. Infuriating.

It’s been more than a year since Safari for macOS tab redesign, and it’s still extremely buggy - this one reproduces 80% of the time 😔

@thurrott A UX disaster.

Anyone know what this is?

@reckless No surprise that Elon doesn't get it. It's very different when Trump's not the president anymore. I don't care what he says. I blocked him the night he was voted out. He doesn't have the nuclear codes. At least assuming he hasn't got those squirreled away at Mar-a-Lago as well...

“Donald Trump will bring more users to my platform” is a pretty good argument for Trump to stay on the platform that he has actual financial upside in, just sayin

@ShimermanArmin Mastodon is excellent. If you set up camp there, I'll def follow.

@atpfm So glad you guys are over there! Followed.

In our effort to create a redundant array of independent social networks (RAISN), you can also now follow us on Mastodon: @atpfm@mastodon.social

@benjedwards I'm hearing whispers that 2FA is currently broken, so don't log out (at least on one of your devices) if you want to be able to get back in.

How's everybody feeling about Twitter these days?

@flarup This makes sense if this is the problem that Elon's trying to solve. And your solution is elegant for that problem, but I think he's mostly interested in just being destructive and obfuscating reality.

Between completely supplanting the verified badge and designing a new prominent way of communicating Blue membership, there’s so many other ways this could have been solved. Stronger Blue branding while retaining the meaning of verified. Maybe just stacking them could work?

Wait, so the left checkmark means 'Twitter Blue' and the right checkmark means 'Verified'...

@MarioGuzman These modals are just awful. I've hated them ever since they were introduced. Either there's something very new in the works and they don't care what's shipped because everybody inside is already using the new awesome thing, or they just don't care anymore full stop.

That was quick. I've almost forgotten Twitter existed!

I am gonna QT this every day until either I forget or until Twitter closes.

@ethanschoonover Ugh, that's horrible. :(

@steveriggins Better mark that as a parody or Elon will send the tweet police after you!

Hey, while we're electioning tomorrow, can we vote Elon out of Twitter? Asking for a friend...

@CastIrony @upulie I think it's a bug. I saw the same thing until I clicked on it and then went back. They probably fired the team that fixes this shit.

Elon Musk is a living and breathing argument for a 90% top tax rate
