Can see the tweets but not any replies. I don't have an account.
This is how itnis for me.

Also, maybe someone should shoot that light and make it stop. Because the brightness is bad, the storbing is fucking nuts.

Just deleted it from my phone. May delete the account later. It has ceased to be a game.

Twitter's subscription service has a new feature for users who don't want the world to know they're giving $8 a month to Elon Musk: hiding the checkmark.

"As a subscriber, you can choose to hide your checkmark on your account," says a newly updated page describing the subscription service formerly known as Twitter Blue. The service was renamed "X Blue" to match Musk's rebranding of Twitter as X.

Even if you choose to hide that checkmark you bought, there's no guarantee other users won't figure out that you're a subscriber. It just won't be quite as obvious.
Sure, but isn't the point of having a blue checkmark is to have it be obvious? Why pay for something you're not going to display?

It's probably to obscure just how much Elon/Twitter (Screw you, Elon, not going to call it X) is manipulating his blue checkmark system to allow the nazi and/or misinformation brigade to rise to the top and also when they brigade moderate posters who remain on the platform.

Will Trump be on the Xitter, Xitting all over it, as in times past?

Not Xit? The X is pronounced as the Pinyin "X": "sh". Of course, it may not be suitable for work if said aloud.
