X, which was formerly known as Twitter until its recent rebranding, is having a problem displaying old posts that came with images attached or any hyperlinks converted through Twitter’s built-in URL shortener. It’s unclear when the problem started, but it was highlighted on Saturday afternoon in a post by Tom Coates, and a Brazilian vtuber, @DaniloTakagi, had pointed it out a couple of days earlier.
Someone noted that basically all of the media from the Arab Spring—which was a massive Twitter moment—has been wiped out.
I’m sure the Saudis who bankrolled The Muskrat’s purchase of Xitter had nothing to do with that.
Not at all. This is totally a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along.

What conspiracy? I said they didn’t have anything to do with it.
Maybe you’re the one who needs more tin foil.
A great situation to point to when someone asks why decentralized social media is important
And also why we need non profit foundations backing the big social media sites so their priorities aren’t increasing profit.
