I hate that logo. I glanced at the subject and thought the X Window System was standardizing remote audio over the X protocol.
No disrespect intended, but surely I’m not the only one who’s tired of Twitter and Reddit news polluting this space.
There’s also a new “Enable audio and video calling” toggle within the app’s settings, which says you can “turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with.” It includes options to allow audio and video calls from only people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all three.
Five bucks says that when basically no one enables this it will be turned on by default for everyone to receive calls from verified users within the next 8 weeks.
Oh and the only way to turn it off will to be a verified user…
video calls
The idea I would have to put clothes on to use Twitter is disorienting.
tbh it’s not that bad for me. Between using a private account, having my feeds tuned, and using autoblockers for magats and crypto shills, I don’t get ads or much of the crazy and/or aggravating shit. I have a feed mostly of art, photography, nature, history, generally interesting stuff and cute animals. If I want politics, I have a list for that.
Yeah but why work so hard to curate something good on a platform that is painfully obvious in its attempts to sabotage open communication and foment a far right message?
