Creating new X accounts seems to be broken
I want to create a new account for a new org
If I try to create a new account on web, I am instructed to get the app to finish registration
On Android app, I get "Please use https://t.co/cX9HakmpFQ or official X apps to proceed with log in/sign up."
Using latest version in my region, 11.96.0-release.0, on Android 16.0.5 (real device / not emulated / not rooted)
This is the case for both the original X and the "new X" experience in the Android app

🚨🇷🇺Moscow has turned into a shithole as Russian propaganda tries to hide the crisis following sanctions from the Coalition of the Willing.
Just kidding this is London, Starmer’s UK… where you can get arrested if you share this video.
She is mentally unwell and unfortunately, exceptionally dense as well. You genuinely have to laugh at someone who tags the state department on X to inform them that one of their citizens is headed to Russia.
This means she doesn’t even grasp the function of a passport. She thinks the state department looks to her X feed to learn who is flying in and out of their country. 🤣
Larry is slow.

Another L1 just died. #Zcash bleeding out. How many more garbage chains have to collapse before you admit it?
#Algorand is the answer.
Pure tech. Institutional grade. Actually scales.
The rest are fossils.
$ALGO season is here.
Wake the f*ck up. 🚀
