I knew Twitter sucked now but this was ridiculious.

Imagine Support that sucks so much that you end up paying $1000 a month for premium support, only to still have to basically social engineering your way back into your account by messaging random employees.

Yeah. I even tagged Snopes asking if they got their 1000 back since they already had it for free but they didn’t response (which isn’t a surprise. it is a company. lol ) My money is on they didn’t.

I can’t wrap my head around a service being so much shit but people still forking some cash to them.
I know for a company, $1000 is change but still.
$1000 for a glorified support ticket that gets auto-closed by some AI is fucking bullshit.

I didn’t have to DM random people on X but I did have to go through the account lockout support process 4 times and it took 3 months before I finally got someone to respond to my request at twitter. I then deleted my account 5 minutes later

Damn. I think I left at the perfect time. As soon as Space Karen took over, I deleted my account.

Snopes should take this opportunity to post once a day that the best way to know if something's true or not is to leave Xitter.

I’m just glad they’ve got something on the Fediverse so I don’t have to go to Xitter.

Why is @snopes even still on Twitter?

itwasntme223@infosec.pub on 10 Mar 20:29 next collapse

I have zero clue. I thought this would even convince them to leave. Maybe some misguided thought of providing truth to the MAGAts who will never accept it?

Surprised me to see replies defending it.
