Haven’t seen any change at all as a Twitter user since the whole Elon brouhaha started.

Really? I've seen 2fa break, the rules for parody accounts change multiple times, ones making fun of Elon banned and the blue checkmark fiasco where a bunch of people were able to purchase official looking accounts for prominent companies and people.
Oh, I read about those but I saw absolutely no change in my daily use, other the tweets commenting, of course. The app worked fine. I am at most a casual user though.
Okay. A lot of people were affected though.
Yeah, so I keep hearing. Never met one of those people or one of those effects myself though.
I am effected. I can send you proof if you email me. My follower count is zero when I’m logged in after I was locked out of my account for a bit right after retweeting a joke meme critical of Elon’s handling of Twitter.

Elon told me he wants to make Twitter a free speech area. Why did anything negative happen because I posted a family friendly meme? Just because it insults the owner of the free speech platform?

I only log into Twitter once a month. I post even less. This is the first time I’ve had issues.

I don’t have proof for loading being janky at times in recent weeks but I could be on the lookout and take screenshots of that too.

I believe you, thanks for writing about it here.
