Jack officially isn't part of Bluesky anymore:
Bluesky (@bsky.app)
With Jack’s departure, we are searching for a new board member for the Bluesky public benefit company who shares our commitment to building a social network that puts people in control of their experience. More to come!

Also the site's development hasn't been guided by him for a long time now

Jack left Bluesky. He kind of got mocked by people there and stopped posting. He recently left the board as well. He's focusing on his own project nostr and is really mad that Bluesky would dare to use... Moderation!
That's likely why he's posting on Twitter again. Bluesky is very anti-Jack. I follow the developers on there.
Jack left BlueSky because it's "too much like old Twitter"—which is exactly why I'm staying.
Musk's SpaceX is quick to build in Texas, slow to pay its bills
I love that Jack left bluesky after complaining about Moderation and the userbase going "What don't you want moderated Jack?", "is it CSAM Jack?", and many variations on the theme of why moderation is a good thing... dude realised he was on a loser and quit. I wonder how long nostr will last before they are legally forced to moderate.
Dude seems like he just the downer in the room now. Plus i bet he tries to get people into weird techno hippy shit

Well it looks like Twitter is redirecting to x.com for me now, and is completely broken in Firefox for me showing a "Something went wrong, but don't fret — let's give it another shot." error with a bunch of "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource" errors showing in the console.
I mean, I'm surprised it took this long. It has been x.com as a thing for what, a year now? But x.com redirected to twitter.com, not the other way round. He bungled the rebrand. It should have been done this way when he did the change.
It's a godawful change. Have fun with all those 301 redirects
If you're using Control Panel for Twitter or a similar extension, you'll probably need an update that can handle the new site redirect.
No extensions or anything and I tried disabling plugins like Ad Block as well, Firefox just doesn't like it.
It looks like it is Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection. With the domain change, Firefox is now treating the domain abs.twimg.com as social media tracking and blocking it.

Ahahahahaha, they've had almost a year to work on this and they still haven't shaken the bugs out.

Looking like it's a gradual rollout. Still twitter.com for me thankfully, but I'd imagine it won't stay that way for long.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, almost 10 months after Twitter has rebranded to X, direct traffic to to the twitter.com URL is still 2000x more than the traffic to the x.com URL?
Concerning.
It's because x.com auto redirected as standard to twitter.com. He got the rebrand backwards
I guess Elon finally got sick of getting dragged for what tweets he likes. An engineer just announced likes will be private.

Incredible.
Soon, they should hide tweets from everyone, so you can say whatever you want, or "engage" with controversial topics, without being ridiculed!
So what's the fucking difference between Likes and Bookmarks.
Jesus wept.
What is the point of having a social media platform where the fun bits are hollowed out like a ripe lemon?
Hiding likes and removing blocks is just appealing to the worst people on the planet. Other users should know if you're boosting "edgy" content.
The engineer actually explained in a reply! Bookmarks are only visible to the bookmarker. Likes will now only be visible to the liker and the likee. (I suspect like counts will still be public. One of the dumb but overall less terrible changes post-Elon has been to make bookmark counts public, BTW. This happened many months ago.)
Normal people don't get roasted for liking Nazi tweets, so they never get to thinking "wow, I wish my likes were private."
You know what, come to think of it, I'm really surprised this feature isn't (1) optional and (2) paywalled.
It already is. People who paid for Twitter Blue can hide their Likes already, if they do so wish. Have been able to for a while
Elon believes in the silent majority bullshit. The world is full of people who wish they could express their anti-woke views via "likes" but are afraid of repercussions.
It's incredibly sus considering his power to manipulate the system. Even if it's just selectively combatting bot like farming he can make his vision appear like reality.

X Confirms Plan to Make 'Likes' Private, Remove Likes Tab From Profiles
Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) will soon stop showing public "likes" on users' profile pages, the company has said. The plan...

Until, you know, they change their minds again and out all the weirdo content you may have liked thinking it would remain totally private.
Interesting that they're openly stating that allowing people to like things they're embarrassed to admit liking is a good thing.
This is definitely going to happen either by accident or random change of policy on a whim.
