Billionaire also says platform has 550 million monthly users generating up to 200m posts a day

Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.

The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.

Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.

    I have to say it didn’t work for me, Calckey is much better but I may just not be a microblogging person as I prefer it over here.

      Looking up Calckey now.

      But I like Kbin because it combines a reddit clone with a Twitter clone for each sub.

        Yes, I haven’t tried kbin as I’ve been happy on Lemmy. It would not surprise me if Lemmy introduced a feature to follow people that would open it up more to the Fediverse.

        Calckey recently rebranded to firefish.social

        I migrated my mastodon account - it’s much better in every way. (no offense intended to Mastodon)

            https://firefish.social/ is what I use.

            But (no snark intended) you are using it wrong if you are relying on your specific instance being populated. It federates with Mastodon, so just follow all the folks you’d follow on Mastodon. If you have a Mastodon account, you can automatically suck them over, and those who follow you also.
