But she is not getting notifications about people who have responded or retweeted to her. It's limiting her accessibility on the app.

All of her responses are there on our end. When she goes to check her personal notifications, she will get that rooster message. I have gotten that in the past during Twitter glitches, but for AOC thisbis probably targeted.

He's a whiny little shit that made his money thanks to money you and I poured into his companies via Tax cuts and incentive money during Obama's tenure. He should be thanking all of us for making rich instead of gouging us for more. But that's the capitalist's way.

I don't know how any progressive could be upset with AOC's twitter account. She fights the good fight there.

But non IT people confuse and misuse tech terms all too often I’ve observed

“Impaired” or “disabled some functionality” is hard to say in a terse yet snarky tweet

Yo @elonmusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for you to disable their app when they say something you don’t like?

Strictly speaking, a device is bricked when it completely loses its functionality. However, the term is being used with more flexibility these days, and in some cases, bricked electronics are still recoverable with some hardware replacement or additional software.

..that verified users could live in a verified-only Twitter-verse. That is interesting- not a knock on AOC for missing that ability but good to know that there is more to being verified than proving you are who you say you are.
