Anyone else recently locked out of Twitter?

[Bob Jersey]

I discovered I was logged out around 3.30-4pm today (5/1). Trying to log in using my existing creds straight-out failed.

Am I the only one who dislikes using the term "application" to refer to something running on a website - as this article does - as opposed to a separate, dedicated application running on a phone/tablet/laptop/desktop PC/whatever?

There USED TO be an actual desktop TweetDeck application, but it was discontinued (shortly pre-Musk) - nowadays the website version is how I usually interact with Twitter, and it's still working for me as well as it has in the Musk era (sloooooow).

At least that still works for me, but I wish I could adjust the size of columns to fit my desktop screen...     B

I logged off over a month ago. It turns out, if I’m not on Twitter, Twitter doesn’t matter… at all.

Same. I had stopped really giving a damn about Twitter a few years ago, but I kept the account open mainly because a number of companies I subscribe to use it for customer service.  But in light of SpaceKaren's antics, I finally deactivated my account last month.  I've been on Mastodon since the beginning of the year and enjoy it very much; it reminds me a lot of Twitter back in 2007 or so, before the brands and the N*zis showed up in droves.

Today Twitter banned my daily "Map My Walk" post for violating "Community Standards on nudity or sexual activity."

Hey guys, I walked 1.16 miles in 21 minutes - I just didn't have time for any nudity or sexual activity! But I'll try to walk faster next time.

That’s what she said.
