Yes, he did an obviously fake one yesterday and has either followed it up with a more realistic one today - or actually been sued.

My partner does a twitter account that is purely about autism. She retweeted something by professor of autism at Cambridge, Simon Baren-Cohen about anti-Semitism and suddenly lost a few dozen of her followers. #big up humanity.

I checked, no such suit.. Unless they are delayed in updating the info from yesterday, which is entirely possible.

This stagnation, and its implications, are often obscured by Twitter’s very real achievements. For instance, when Barack Obama traveled to East Africa in July, news outlets lavished attention on the Twitter hashtag #SomeoneTellCNN, a vehicle for ridiculing CNN’s assertion that the U.S. president was headed to a “hotbed of terror” in Kenya, as emblematic of Kenyan public opinion on the matter. And perhaps it was. (Kenyan Twitter is a vibrant community.) But Twitter’s insight into how people in the region were assessing Obama’s visit was far more limited than coverage of the various hashtags associated with the trip suggested. As the human-rights advocate Jeffrey Smith tweeted at the time, “People noticed that ‘Ethiopians aren’t tweeting about #ObamaInEthiopia.’ Well, internet penetration is 2% & there’s mass state surveillance.” To cite just one other example: A Pentagon official recently marveled that U.S. intelligence first learned of a Scud-missile launch in Yemen via Twitter. Wow! But the official didn’t mention that the vast, vast majority of Yemenis don’t use Twitter. We are still only hearing from a tiny sliver of the battlefield in Yemen.
Gary Vaynerchuk, an early Twitter investor, described this challenge in particularly blunt terms in March, suggesting that Twitter’s town-square model could be its undoing. Twitter has “become a massive firehose,” he said, and if it doesn’t “stop showing you everything, Twitter will die.”This shift to more closed networks makes it more difficult for big-data researchers like myself, and the public at large, to realize Twitter’s lofty aspiration of tapping into “what the whole world is thinking about any topic at any time.” Further complicating matters, the majority of social-media posts in the past were textual, meaning that computer algorithms could rapidly assess their content and emotional attributes. Today, however, photo and video content form the fastest-growing segment of social sharing.

snowden seems like a totally normal boring person who did one thing one time, i mean i still followed him but
are they seriously gonna make tweets more than 140 characters? so fucked if true
― flopson, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 23:53 (eight years ago) link
it's crazy how the ppl who own twitter don't seem to understand what it is or what its appeal is... like sometimes reading shit they say you'd think they expect it to become facebook
unless it's like 150 characters that's a horrible idea
― balls, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 00:03 (eight years ago) link
Seems to be less about what the appeal of Twitter is to current users, more about what the perceived appeal would be to new users. Not sure that would get a lot of new users though.
