my preference is Xitter (pronounced shitter)
That’s what happens when you fire all your security people, Musk. You fucking idiot.
this seems like what happened in 2021. Whoever wrote this article apparently got excited and didn’t verify its authenticity.
The breach, sourced from a Twitter (X) database or scrape…
The fact that they don’t specify, and that it’s names, usernames, and email addresses, means this could all be public data.
Okay this looks big as far as data, but is there any information here that isnt (wasnt) already public? This looks like profile information. Isnt all this already available?

It’s 10 GB
10 GB of a database table sounds like a lot of records. Of course if this contained pictures or other media then this wouldnt be much. But I dont know for certain what data was leaked.
Anyone still on X deserves it at this point.
Nice victim blaming.
That’s what happens when the victim is an accomplice…
I have a couple thousand followers on twitter but no followers on bluesky or mastodon ahahh. It’s so hard to grow them. I post my content on all three for now.
How does your engagement compare across all three?
Mastodon I rarely get one or two favourites. BlueskyI get either ignored or 5-10 likes. Twitter I get anywhere from 5-multiple thousand likes, but 30-100 with maybe 2-5 quality replies is the most common range. I think issue is content is too niche and bluesky/mastodon need to grow before a significant chunk of people with my illness move there.
I wish I could leave twitter, I hate musk with a passion.
Huh, I have the opposite. On twitter I never get traction (I assume its because I’ve never paid them $$ to promote my content) whereas I’ve gone viral and attracted press from the same content on Mastodon
That’s really weird. Because I obviously haven’t paid a cent to Musk either, and I’ve gone “viral” on twitter.
I really just think it’s due to the fact there is a well established niche community of people of which I post very niche content on on twitter, so it’s rare to have a post that doesn’t do well for me. And if my post ends up more general than the niche ie. disability in general and not just my illness, it sometimes goes viral.
