Jeri Dansky@ByRobinEpley I like that "sincere" part, recognizing how crucial Twitter has been to some of us these past few years. One quibble: Musk isn't making people pay to get verified. There's no verification going on. He's making them pay the $8 for a blue tick mark that gives them a few extra features and confuses people who might THINK it means they are verified.
Yudron Wangmo 🪷 📿 🏔@ByRobinEpley Paywall, baby.
@YudronWangmo 1) i’m not your baby, 2) pay for your news. only lies are free.
@ByRobinEpley I do subscribe to two newspapers, just not the Sacramento Bee. Is it part of any newspaper group with a global subscription fee?
ianhillmedia@ByRobinEpley Hey there! Nice to see you here.
@ianhillmedia you too!!
No Country For Old Boomers@ByRobinEpley I enjoyed your latest column. Sadly, I truly hope your prediction about Twitter is correct. I wasn't a major user, but did get a lot of my news feed from Twitter and I miss it. But I quit after Musk made his buyout known in the Spring.
