I see that many of you still call it twitter. I get if it's a protest, but current X seems very unlike twitter, so I don't understand why it should be called by that name.

In what way is it different? They increased the character limit? It's still a short form reddit-style message board, same as it was 3 years ago.

Reddit-style? Why would you say reddit style, and not facebook-style, mastodon-style, or bluesky-style? At least Reddit is arranded thematically, and Twitter is arranged around individuals; this is quite a significant difference.

Because the two styles are reddit style and bulletinBB style in my head. Those other three you mentioned are reddit style, too.

Interesting. To me, reddit is much closer to bulletinBB (as I remember from phpBB) than twitter. Reddit is like Hacker News in that regard.

What makes the reddit style more similar to Twitter than to bulletin board, in your mind? And do we have a modern example of the bulletinBB style since phpBB?
