@infosec_jcp 🐈🃏 done differentlyYep. Traffic is tanking also.
Cerritelli@daringfireball what about people who already had it installed on their phone? Can they find the app if they search for “Twitter”? Do you just have to know that this new “x” app isn’t a scam/“virus” (I get a lot of family asking if “this or that” is a virus or if they’ve been hacked”).
Casper 👻@daringfireball poor xitter
Ant@daringfireball I just did a Twitter and X search on NZ App Store and X is number 2 result for both.
Lars 
@daringfireball #117 in Germany.
Sean@daringfireball outstanding work by the billionaire owner.
Zendadaist@daringfireball Oh no.
So anyway...
João Colaço@daringfireball I didn’t notice before but X/Twitter is now(?!) in the News apps category of the App Store and not in Social Networks. In that list, and at least in Portugal, is the #1 free app (is #75 in All Free Apps also in Portugal 🥳).
weltenbürger@daringfireball everybody should stop mentioning the predecessor. New owner, new employees, new rules, new (read: no) content moderation, new... It simply has nothing in common with where it came from. The bird is dead, so please stop mentioning it and let the new platform die in its glory.
John Volpato@daringfireball I resisted till the cracks: deleted!
Frank Malinowski@daringfireball @gruber I had to open the App Store and confirm, because I thought surely John is being facetious when he says that X’s slogan is “Blaze your glory!”
I was gobsmacked to see you were being serious. This is the clearest sign of arrested development yet.
