I miss Twitter…
You’d open the app and instantly know what was happening in the world. No fluff, no weird sorting, just real time thoughts from real people. It felt raw, and that was the whole point.
Over the years they chipped away at that. First the timeline stopped being chronological. Then everything turned into a fight for engagement. The best posts didn’t win anymore, the loudest ones did.
Verification getting sold off was the turning point. That used to mean something. Now it’s just noise. Anyone can look legit, which means nobody really is.
And if you’re actually trying to build something on there, good luck. Shadowbans, random reach drops, mass reporting… there’s zero consistency. One day you’re growing, next day you’re invisible.
The rebrand to X just made it worse. Feels like they threw away everything people actually cared about and replaced it with… nothing.
It’s still usable, but it’s not the same. It went from a place where things happened first to a place where everything feels filtered, forced, and a little fake.
Deepest gratitude to the contributors for sharing their voices and expertise, to @WPSNCanada for collaborating on and publishing the collection, and to @UroojM for leading the way.
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
"Be pleased with everything that Allāh does with you. For indeed He does not prevent you except to give you. He does not test you except to protect and save you. He does not give you ill health except to cure you.

@oklimbo@jchensor@Sajam None. The most optimal combo would be fireball into shoulder tackle. Definitely he improvised to avoid the fireball. Ex headbutt would be totally unnecessary without that fireball.
@TheSideheadlock@Xeliousaaa@HiFightTH Yes I concur. Thats what makes them geniuses. They analyze multiple scenarios and react in milli seconds. The flash covered demon as well as other options.
