✨ I just used the new @XHandles feature to get the 💾@pieter handle on here 🎉😊 Social media usernames have always been the world of shady dealings and X is the first platform to try solve that (I have so many dodgy stories how big brands and famous people got their usernames, I could write a book, and it's systemic on all social media platforms) X changes that today with a clean and fair marketplace to help people get inactive social media handles Any user can now request unused or inactive X handles, and they're put on a waiting list for when they get released But if you're a paid X Premium or X Business users you get priority and can get them as a complimentary benefit! The X team are working hard on this, and next features they told me are: - ⁠pre-priced purchases for specific rare handles - ⁠public drops for very rare handles or common words - ⁠peer-to-peer marketplace - ⁠auto redirects from old to new user handles This feature also reminds me of my favorite chat app @telegram's Fragment platform, that is similar and lets people trade usernames and is blockchain based, also very cool!
