And they've also rolled out an "edit" button simultaneously.
They're encouraging, and enabling, political figures to manipulate their own words.
Straight out of 1984.

Apple just added edit button to imessage recently too, weird

Which I'm sure has nothing to do with right-wing politicians and pundits getting eviscerated in discovery, via SMS records, in court for whatever lawsuit they're dealing with on a given day. /s

The button works for 30 minutes, right? I don’t think that really helps any of the cases of political figures being screwed by what they said.

I have sincere doubts that limit won't slowly, and quietly, be increased overtime.

It also from what I've read about it allows you to see the initial version so the history of the tweet is recorded as well.

I get an email every day about the notifications I have on Twitter.
My phone is logged in, but every time I try to reset my password, they claim they will text me a password link and it never happens.
Oh well.

Honest question, are you missing fingers? I've only ever owned android devices, I've never failed to take a screenshot once.

I'm pretty sure I could take a screenshot on my Pixel with my feet if I ever had to. It's really simple to do.

What reactionary nonsense. The edit is only available for a certain amount of time and you can still see what the original tweet was

I think Twitter fails to understand (or more likely, is ignoring) why people screenshot tweets

Random but what cell provider do you have? I’ve had two people with T-Mobile recently where nothing changed on their account but short codes were blocked. Some still worked but a majority didn’t. They both called, something tweaked on the carrier end by the CSR, and they could get them all now.

everybody knows only apple products have screenshots, silly. Otherwise why would anyone pay a 500$ markup?
RevRagnarok t1_irfp41h wrote
I had Verizon but now I have Xfinity which is just Verizon reseller. So not like a podunk carrier.
DevonWithAnI t1_irfp6tn wrote
it absolutely has nothing to do with it considering you can still see what the messages were before they were edited

Pixel 6 Pro. I tried it just now, confirmed, I took a screenshot with my feet.
Girfex t1_irfpzgj wrote
I get it now!

Screenshot the tweet, then screenshot the edit history. The edit button isn’t the worst part it’s the delete button.
Political figure can tweet something, people get big mad and screenshot, political figure deletes tweet then claims any screenshots of said tweet are fabricated images, supporters believe political figure, screenshotters are labeled as spreading false information

For now it is time-limited, yes. What about this is nonsense? It's how social media services have always introduced controversial mechanics - slow creep.
thatfreshjive t1_irfwo3v wrote
Deleting a tweet is a decisive act, though. The capability to edit after the fact introduces ambiguity: ie. "How do I know that was the original tweet? You could have edited the screen shot."

I ditched the reddit app, it's too slow and clunky. I also saw it was hindering my sleep.
Now I just use reddit on the computer. I like the interface on computer better. And I don't use it that much as I would on the phone, as I don't like sitting at the computer all day.

duh! andriods are only for poor people! and poor people are scary! /s (actually i have 0 idea what original commenter is talking abt because im always accidentally taking screen shots with the option that allows you to swipe your hand across the screen to take a shot???)

Your logic applies more to deleting than editing: “How do you even know I posted that?” “You could’ve photoshopped that tweet to make it Look like I did”

Dude are you okay? Seek help lol
thatfreshjive t1_irh637j wrote
I'm perfectly fine. I'd suggest looking inward, my dude.
Ask for help, it isn't going to come if you do not seek it out.
thatfreshjive t1_irh8ic3 wrote
True. I was more curious about where others thought this was headed, thought I'd gaslight a bit. That didn't work out too well 😅

This is another example of why you don’t use the app, just use the website. And they always make the website shit and forcefeed ads every single time you visit the damned site to use their shitty app
