I’m pretty sure they’re referring to Twitter.
Twitter still exists. Renamed. Same exact thing. You can create an account and post whatever random things you want. Some people might follow you. Some might not. If you see something that makes you sad, you can block the person who posted the sad thing.
> Same exact thing.
It very much is not. No third-party clients; can’t see threads without an account; owner inserting himself and his ideology at the centre; fewer and less diverse participating people; diminished trust in the platform; more spam; different verification rules… Even the character limit is different.
"no longer developer friendly" referring to them re-pricing their API to make aggregating data for fun monetarily infeasible.

It's a walled garden. Unless you are logged into an account it's basically a private network.

Even blocking has changed!
Probably Twitter? Tumblr and Blogger were for regular blogging, not micro-blogging.
