What happens first?

It's not rocket science.

Just change the "x.com" to "twitter.com" before hitting send.

Takes maybe 10 seconds.

I don’t have to do that. I literally paste the tweet then change x to twitter.

x.com always works for me.

For posting on this site?

I deactivated Twitter, so won't be posting Tweets. Dude let Alex Jones back on? No thanks. So, I guess it's a 5 star commit.

I certainly understand that. But I just delete all the political trash from my thread, and try to leave only sports news (for which it is, unfortunately, the best). Of course, I have to rescrub it every couple days, but there is literally nothing else that people use - yet.

Do you hunt and peck? 1.5 seconds flat if you were born post 1980.

Early 60s. Fat fingers and a little phone.

I can't believe how much people use their phones for internet. I only use it to look things up, not to watch them or try to read anything very long.

While we’re on the subject, why is the extra step necessary?

That sounds like a personal problem.

Some of us just have larger phones than others.

It's not the size of the phone. It's the magic in it.

Yep. Maria Muldaur summed it up succinctly:

The change from Twitter to X caused some changes on their side that this site's script couldn't handle. The next update of this site will hopefully fix the problem.

Tweets Not Posting

When I link a tweet it only posts as a hyperlink instead of showing the actual tweet. Anyway to fix that?

I broke my personal lap top that was on its last legs a week ago been miserable using my phone so much but I’m not going to use the company one for posting on here.

Yeah, there is a principle to it for me. A couple probably. Shame that nothing else picked up the huge opportunity there. I basically don't have that consumption channel in my life anymore. It was the best for newsy stuff. I tried Mastodon & Threads & some others, they just never gained quite the same level of activity. I do use Reddit more. Ah well. Honestly just surprised to see people still using it so much. Haven't logged in in about a year.
