Dorsey's Resignation

Why is it that this article does not mention anything about Dorsey's resignation as CEO and from the board?--Cube b3 (talk) 03:38, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Home page image

Hello, the image used at the start of the article of twitter’s home page is inaccurate (as of the 22nd of December, 2022 in England).

The new homepage shows a ‘for you’ page. 209.93.228.189 (talk) 16:37, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Agree, I am in the UK and as of a few minutes ago this was my non logged in home page. Whether this is true in other countries is harder to say, but if this is commonplace the infobox image may need updating.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 19:05, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

This is in the news, but as we've already seen here, some people have had the "for you" tab for a while. As the Mashable article says, this is pretty much copying the idea of the "for you" link found on TikTok.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:27, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

New checkmark should be noted.

New checkmark seems to be yellow for news agencies. don't know when it was launched. please update, thanks. MarioFan324234 (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Controversy Topic

Shouldn’t there be Controversy topic that explains Twitter’s left leaning bias under Jack Dorsey or maybe mentioned in the first few paragraphs? I’ve noticed Wiki has these sections on other pages. WhowinsIwins (talk) 05:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Actually, I would dispute that view. Multiple websites have actually reported that Twitter's algorithm tends to amplify right-wing voices: The Guardian: Twitter admits bias in algorithm for rightwing politicians and news outlets, BBC: Twitter's algorithm favours right-leaning politics, research finds, The Economist: According to Twitter, Twitter’s algorithm favours conservatives.

So, if you're going to make an argument about a social media platform having a political leaning, it would greatly help your case if you were actually truthful about which way the platform leans. But, I do agree with your basic idea that there should be a "Controversy" section about Twitter's political leaning; as people need to know that the way Twitter is coded actually tends to amplify right-wing voices.

And, as far as your claim that this website has a "Controversy" section on other pages, care to elaborate on what articles about social media platforms on here have that section as it pertains to political leaning? 2600:1700:C960:2270:5854:458C:454E:2788 (talk) 10:42, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion of a recent outage

This paragraph in the History section drew my attention: On February 8, 2023, Twitter users widely reported on various social media platforms that they were receiving error messages on Twitter such as "The content of your Tweet is invalid" or "You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets.” Twitter has not communicated the reasons why this outage occurred, but some believe the issue was caused by an engineer “unintentionally deleting data related to rate limiting”.

It doesn't seem notable enough to be included, as it's a short-lived technical issue that didn't cause any notable consequences. Devoting a paragraph to it feels a bit excessive, though I wouldn't go as far as shouting WP:Recentism. Still, its importance doesn't seem too great and I'd argue it could be removed or at least pared down substantially. Any opposition? ASpacemanFalls (talk) 14:52, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
