Many top brands have come back to advertise on Twixxer despite the hateful content displayed here on a daily basis. It is a sad commentary on the death of respect, community and tolerance on this platform. We will continue to autopost @Kcomicsbeat content but nothing more.

The net result of this – and all of the galaxy brain moves that the new Twitter/x ownership has made – mean Twixxer is almost completely irrelevant to our social media efforts. We get 10X the traffic from BlueSky, which does not throttle links or promote hate groups.

Hello, Beat EIC Heidi MacDonald here. Weve been autoposting links to Beat articles on Twitter for a decade or more, but Twixxer now charges to use their API and we've run out of credits, so no more autoposting. @KComicsBeat continues to autopost.
