I blew the lid on X today:

https://x.com/i/status/2041698657368703484

The (new?) X link made me think for a moment you got the username @i

  • The /i/ links are not new, but they used to be for internal (?) links e.g. ads.

  • The website formerly known as Twitter has never cared about the username part of the URI; it only looks at the status number and will redirect you to the canonical version if it wasn't.

  • 1) its weird to disparage someone that is trying to help, no matter how small or large of an effect you think the help will have

    2) they got 120,000 views, 400 retweets, and 1.7k likes in ~12 hours. that is a good amount of awareness. certainly more than i would get from a tweet. certainly more help than whatever you are doing here.
