Twitter confirms “Twitter Blue”, which costs $2.99 per month

• circles-ios

  7 51 3.8 Swift

  Discontinued E2E encrypted social networking built on Matrix. Safe, private sharing for your friends, family, and community.

  

This is awesome. Not because I like Twitter. It’s pretty awful.

And I don’t hold out much hope that this will do anything to stop Twitter from boosting crazy garbage in order to maximize “engagement” and sell ads.

I’m excited because I think this will make it easier for competitors to come along and offer a better, more user-focused experience. You can do a lot with $3/user.

Full disclosure: I’m building a privacy focused social network that will be a paid subscription service. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios

  Back up Twitter follow/mute/block lists periodically using GitHub Actions

I absolutely hate ads on Twitter and there's no way to block them on mobile. So I developed this obsession to block every ad account I see (which is about 4,300 accounts so far https://github.com/ahmetb/twitter-audit-log/blob/master/bloc...). I am willing to pay $2 more and get ads blocked as well. Once you start blocking ads, the relevance goes down and it drives you crazier.
