More respectable source - https://x.com/MSFT365Status

How do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X.

(And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.)

In this case you can find this X account linked on some Microsoft status pages.

Exactly like how you evaluate respectability on any platform including the web. Not like there are reliable checkmarks everywhere you go.

I respect them more. So that’s one data point..

Twitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them.

By default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order)

Not really useful for the 'latest' going on.

Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.

I didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
