Now that legacy verified checkmarks are gone, this is a great time to make sure you have a link to your website in your Twitter bio and that your website links back to your Twitter account!

Well that's a sentence I never thought could exist.

"A request for comment from Twitter’s press office was met with an automated reply containing a poo emoji, a new policy announced by Musk this month."

It's okay, I didn't really need to use Twitter today anyway.

I'm a big fan of using more secure two-factor authentication methods like a security key or TouchID, but I will admit I never expected charging people to use SMS would be a viable strategy to get them off it 😅 https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2023/an-update-on-two-factor-authentication-using-sms-on-twitter

I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random characters here for no particular reason

PSA: If you use Twitter to sign in to stuff, you should double check you have another way to get in to those accounts asap. With Twitter charging ??? for API access next week, you have no way of knowing whether the apps you use are going to pay that.

You can review the list of apps you've connected to your Twitter account here:

Any attempt to remove my tweets that link to my other social media accounts, not violating any law, would actually make #twitter an editorial media, and no longer a social media platform, with civil and criminal liability for *any* illegal content therein. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

Let's see if I get banned for linking to my own website, which you can also follow from Mastodon.

These settings remove the blatant noise from my mentions, but it turns out there's just a lot of actual very confused people debating whether people should be treated with respect.

Last night, for fun, I asked the #AI #GptChat bot to tell me about the events of the Elongated Muskrat buying the fowlsite (#Twitter), in the style of the book of Revelation.
What I got back was *much* more than I expected.
(It really did return this result for this exact query. It gets extra bonus points for the #Mastodon reference.)

If your web app uses Twitter to log users in, this would be a great time to add some alternative authentication methods!

You may also want to make a plan to handle account recovery for people who have already deleted their Twitter accounts...

This is your scheduled periodic reminder, for no particular reason, that now is a good time to review the third party OAuth apps that have access to your Twitter account, and remove any that you don't recognize or haven't used in a while.

Has anyone else noticed their suggested tweets as well as ads on twitter have gotten significantly worse today?

I'm sorry to all of my followers who are still taking this Twitter news seriously. I just cannot with it anymore 😂

any earnest discussion about what Twitter™ should do just feels pointless now
