So does this button do anything anymore?

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

I suppose it was necessary back when tweets were sent as SMS. But that hasn't mattered for over a decade.

They also probably enjoyed knowing every time someone clicked a link.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

Oh no. This was always a terrible solution and it may be about to bite everyone.

The only reason Twitter replaces all your links with https://t.co/OA8donX1om is to reduce how many characters they consume. They could just count them differently.

[Michele Weigle @weiglemc]

If you've downloaded your Twitter archive, note that the "Your archive.html" page renders links in your tweets as t .co links. If Twitter dies, so does the t .co redirection service.

See below to further preserve the links in your tweets.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

At this point I'm just scrolling through Twitter to see if anyone new has posted their Mastodon account details.

And so I can be here when the final fail whale breaches.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

Servers blocking each other is an edge case. The whole point is that you can follow people across servers.

It doesn't *really* matter what server you pick. You'll be able to follow all your friends wherever they are, unless they're nazis. Get on board. 3/3

Disappointed with this @abcnews article about #Mastodon that massively underplays the role of federation. 1/3

"But when you join a server on Mastodon, your posts are only visible to people within that particular server, or servers with policies that are compatible with the one you joined." Followed by a meme implying that everyone will be siloed by servers. 🤦 2/3

It doesn't matter what the people say, and it doesn't matter whether he does it or not, what matters is that he wanted to wield this power over Trump.

Cool that he destroyed Twitter in the process. 👍

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

So this is the moment it was all about. He just wanted to stand up on the stadium, Caesar holding his thumb out, ready to forgive or destroy Trump, a pitiful subject on the floor, while the masses scream their opinions from below.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

This is gonna go great.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

First World Cup match on Sunday! Watch on Twitter for best coverage & real-time commentary.

[IGN @IGN]

What if this was our final tweet

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

@MikeJF It's ... not great.

Paste my Mastodon name @[email protected] into the search box in _your own_ Mastodon instance to follow me.

You should also be able to type your own Mastodon server domain into _my_ https://t.co/bVPGWG3OFq page to have it connect that way.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

If this is the end then goodbye friends, see you in the new land #RIPTwitter https://t.co/OxIwxcynLJ

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

Lol

1. Fire everyone with institutional knowledge.
2. "Literally no one even knows why we did that."

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

I got it! It did take just over 72 hours.

FWIW it's a beautifully built offline website that lets you explore all of your tweets, likes, etc, including all the images. But I can't find where the data is actually stored in a machine-readable (JSON/XML/etc) format.

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

Uh oh, 24 hours? We might not have that long left.

(FYI: https://t.co/dmwMx41Ki4 grab it if/while you can)

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

It's been three days. I doubt I'll ever get my tweet archive at this point 😔

[Matt Giuca @mgiuca]

@whenfalse Oh, I've been waiting three days for my data to be archived. It hasn't come up yet and at this point I doubt it ever will. How long did you have to wait?

Uh oh, 24 hours? We might not have that long left.

Do CEOs of large companies usually end all their tweets about their own company with "🤣🤣"?
