It's Not Safe to Click Links on X

When someone posts a link on X, the site generates a link preview. But reportedly, this system can be tricked, and bad actors can redirect you to malicious sites from a falsely advertised link preview.

Lol, not shocked. Twitter is a dumpster fire. My wife finally quit a couple of days ago. She was seeing some absolutely vile sheet being posted and had enough.

I haven’t touched it since he took over, but I have a hard time imagining how it could have gotten worse.

Oh it absolutely has. I used it quite a bit until I quit like 3 months ago. It's a mess. The user experience has gotten worse and worse over the last year or so.

It’s so wildly hilarious because the whole blue check thing was soooo important to Musk when he was grandstanding about taking Twitter over. Blue checks are just a symbol of liberal elitism! Blue checks can be monitized! They will pay for their badges of honor!

Jackass

The funniest part is that most of them don’t want it now.

You can still "buy" blue check marks, right? If so, having one is meaningless from the perspective of someone "influential" enough to not have to pay for it. And it shouldn't mean much to the typical user who knows that the blue check mark could mean you're someone they should take seriously - or it could just mean you paid $8.99 a month for it. If you can simply buy a "distinction" that otherwise has to be earned, the value of having that distinction decreases dramatically.
