The official Rust project account will no longer be active on Twitter
Thank me later alligator.
Twitter hasn’t existed for a while. Rust didn’t leave twitter, they left a corpse
It’s to clear possible confusion with X11.
Xitter (pronounced shitter) works well enough
I used (for a short time) to maintain a usage of Twitter instead of X, to participate on pissing of Musk along with the crowd, but to me it makes no sense anymore, X is indeed not what Twitter was years ago. It's not a name rebranding anymore, we all here know that. And IMO, Rust would not have left Twitter, like I wouldn't have. We left X, with everything that new name carries with.
Functionality changes, community and users are changing and off course the leadership, rights and branding changed. Right, I think its fair to distinguish the Musk era with his X branding, from the legacy Twitter. So I give you that.
Surprised it didn't rewrite it's own X with blackjack and concurrency
wait until you hear about this project called lemmy
Lemmy was written in Rust?
(Edit: damn, over 75% of the codebase is rust. Nice)
I'm actually surprised there aren't already 20 alternatives to Twitter written in Rust

It's funny how many people are against this. They sure do like to lick elon's boots.
Rust is... woke?!?
I love this gif, where'd you get it from?
I searched "garten of banban sad gif" on tenor
It's funny how many people care one way or another. It's a programming language, and if I want updates, I'll check their changelog. They have incredibly consistent releases, so why would I need a notification on SM when they release again on that schedule?
I don't get it. Post or don't, I don't care, just write good code.
Those people wrote a "hello world" and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)
Holy crap. I don't go on Twitsack any more but I guess I shouldn't be surprised the remaining people are clowns.
Honestly I'm laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.

I don't know what Rust is but glad to see anyone leave X or Facebook. There is a swimming pool at the local military base where my son wants a job as a lifeguard, but to find out when they are hiring, you have to go to their Facebook page. A government entity that requires you to sign into Facebook to see what they offer and when they are hiring.
Rust is a programming language.
Rust is the stuff metal gets
No. Rust is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The stuff Iron gets.
Good. No one with any sense still uses that site.
Trump has now ordered NIST to reverse their recommendation on Rust.
Fuck you and have a nice day.
I knew what it was but clicked anyways.

I'm happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.
But you cant call yourself the "town square of the internet" while hiding things from people you cant monetize.
Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).
Good news, it was mostly private for profit entities doing the censorship
Why are people using bluesky? Just use mastodon or something else federated. Stay are from centralized platforms

Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?
I still dont get why people use bluesky. I mean if you really want a pseudo federated social media, might as well use twitter and not migrate. Its ridiculous.
I assume people want something centralised like Twitter but without Musk. Most people don't care about federation and don't want the extra complexity and division it causes.
It doesn't create division if properly designed, and Mastodon honestly does it rather well generally. There are just two things that hampered its adoption, which was the bad "default" app everyone installed as well as the network's inability to scale absurdly fast.
It's like with proper cities with lots of stores vs. big box stores. The latter might got everything in one place, but it fucks up everything around it. And a well designed city with lots of small stores is way more beautiful and pleasing in every aspect.
^(Yes I watch NotJustBikes, how do you know?)^
Network effect. Its where everyone is.
Bluesky is excellent that's why.
Moderation is better, including better personal moderation filters, etc
if you really want a pseudo federated social media
The vast majority of people don't, they simply want something like what Twitter was before elon ruined it. If the Twitter exodus resulted in mass adoption of federated platforms, it'd be a happy coincidence.
@neme After reading the replies on this post on X, I realized that leaving X is definitely a good idea.
That's crazy.
Nice.
