A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Pretty bummed about this news, I'm gonna miss it. Sometimes you want to post something just for some of your closest mates and this was perfect for that.
I wouldn't start worrying yet. Elon might 'invent' a feature next week that does a similar thing, only it costs something.

Can't you do that with basically any chat app (that all your friends are on 👌)?
Sorta. Twitter has a more "passive" type of interaction that is different from normal chats, which tend to be more "active" (you have a bigger expectation of replying).
But I'm not gonna complain too much since I can use this a reason to use Twitter even less.
