Are there plans to allow 'how many time a toot has been favorited' to be used as a sort criteria? If not, why was the decision taken to not use...
Taylor LorenzEarlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Steve YelvingtonBit of online history:
Ziff-Davis was a publisher of magazines, mostly about photography, then computers when they came along. They ran some groups on CompuServe and other pre-Internet online services.
Recognizing that online experiences would be the Next Big Thing, and also having learned that the existing options like Prodigy sucked, Z-D embarked on a huge project to invent something new.
It used SGML, which became the parent of HTML.
It used stylesheets.
It used multitasking before Windows really could do it.
It used TCP/IP before Microsoft supported it.
It was not only going to host Z-D magazines, but also the Washington Post, the Star Tribune (Minneapolis), Gartner Group, and I think also some Connecticut newspapers. All paid content.
It was gorgeous, packed full of great ideas and great design work and custom fonts and offline functionality and ....
While Interchange was struggling with bugs and late delivery and servers that weren't up to snuff, the World Wide Web came along.
The Web was pathetic by comparison. Barely supported images and the simplest layout. No fonts. No forums, subscribeable packages, automated downloads, etc.
But the Web was open, free, and it worked. Unlike buggy Interchange.
Boom. In a matter of months it was over.

US: The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, was ratified on this date in 1865. The vast majority of Black Americans (85%) say the legacy of slavery affects the position of Black people in American society today either a great deal or a fair amount.
