This week, we’re visiting the ever-evolving Twitterscape, exploring the surge in Mastodon members, and revealing the embarrassing photos on our iCloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk\u2019s erratic \u201cleadership\u201d continues to cause chaos<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Monday: a potential Twitter paywall<\/strong><\/a>. Wednesday: verification confusion<\/strong><\/a> where a new badge, consisting of a grey check mark and the word \u201cofficial\u201d under handles began appeared, but vanished hours later. The latest drama: Musk\u2019s fumbled town hall with advertisers<\/strong><\/a> and a wave of blue checkmark \u201cverified\u201d impersonators<\/strong><\/a> \ud83e\udee0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mastodon or mega-don? The social site is growing\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of Twitter\u2019s takeover by Elon Musk<\/a>, the decentralised social media site Mastodon<\/strong><\/a> has seen a record number of sign-ups, with 233K new users in the last week alone. However, Mastodon\u2019s infrastructure has been struggling to accommodate the influx of these new users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta\u2019s doubling down on their NFT push \ud83d\udcf2<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A select group of creators in the US now have the ability to not only display NFTs on their Instagram profiles, but to also mint and sell<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>them to their followers. Meta is currently testing their end-to-end digital collectibles toolkit on the Polygon blockchain, and even expanding it to include support for video digital collectibles<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
