Not exactly FUD given Elon's history of yeeting anyone who annoys him.


While I agree that Elon is petty enough to ban when slighted, it seems to me that simply running an older client version has too many other probable reasons to be clearly interpreted as personal insult.


My point is new Twitter/X routinely bans people for no actual rule breaking what so ever. The inmates are running the asylum.

Twitter before Musk didn't routinely ban people for no actual rule breaking?


No, they really didn’t.

One could reasonably argue that in some cases they were stretching the meaning of a rule, but they didn’t just arbitrarily ban users.

Heck, if there was one thing the Twitter Files actually showed it was the massive amount of debate and discussion and fretting that the powers at Twitter spent over most of their decisions.


Which is a fine and true point, but still distinct from Twitx banning people for no reason, chaotically.
