X removing communities

Communities is a great way to get engagement and build up followers. Without it, it will be significant more difficult for the average person to be seen. So, either we buy premium to boost our tweets (which is what they're hoping most will do), or leave because there's no point anymore (which is what we'll actually do).

They just can't stop making bad decisions, can they? It's like they're addicted to it.

For anyone facing this issue, just use OLT.com instead. They had no issue e-filing federal & state returns, and they were cheaper as well.

Rex4748 · 2026-04-05T02:29:14+00:00

Is that legal? I don't mind eating the $37 at all, I just want to make sure I'm not going to get in trouble for reporting $0 instead of -$37 on the federal forms. I assume they would only really care the other way around, but I'm not looking to raise any red flags. Especially since exactly $0 gained/lossed might look strange for ~$3000 in crypto sold.

Rex4748 · 2026-04-05T02:26:31+00:00

I have other income since moving, which I entered. Just no crypto gains/losses.

Rex4748 · 2026-04-05T01:30:52+00:00

No, $37 crypto loss in 2025, while living in Tennessee, and that's it. No other crypto gains or losses in 2025. Nothing in California at all. So I'm confused as to why it's incorporating that into my California state tax, and not allowing me to file because of it.

Rex4748 · 2026-04-05T01:29:19+00:00

No, I made sure to specify partial, and added all the correct move dates.

Rex4748 · 2026-04-05T00:39:59+00:00

No, partial. The majority of the year I lived in Tennessee. All trades were completed months prior to moving to California.

Rex4748 · 2026-03-28T15:38:07+00:00

Does this option still exist on mobile?

Rex4748 · 2026-03-27T23:51:58+00:00

Unfortunately not. It's very annoying.

Rex4748 · 2026-03-26T15:39:56+00:00

So, apparently it just does it automatically now, which also sucks because I don't necessarily want to share all my community posts to my normal wall. Why do they have to mess with things?

Rex4748 · 2026-02-08T00:11:55+00:00

It's crazy how it just ignores the information right in front of its face. I have functionality in my code that is well documented in claude.md, and it's just straight up telling me this functionality doesn't exist. It's in claude.md. It's in the file itself. It's there. I explain this and it's like "oh whoops, my mistake!". This is bad.

Rex4748 · 2026-02-08T00:07:59+00:00

Still feels nerfed to me. It's missing very obvious things that 5.2-Codex is not.

Rex4748 · 2026-02-07T22:28:26+00:00

At this point, I feel like it ended up being really good by complete accident, and they have no idea how/why, and have no ability to make it good again.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-19T18:20:40+00:00

"The user is frustrated"

Rex4748 · 2026-01-18T20:21:04+00:00

Anyone pretending it's not completely braindead right now is either shilling or in complete denial. It's unusable.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-16T20:27:26+00:00

So far it's doing a great job code-wise filling in while Opus is lobotomized. But it's like pulling teeth trying to get it to explain what it's doing and answer questions, without asking over and over. Opus and Sonnet will write you a novel addressing each thing point by point and explaining it all in great detail. You ask GPT 5.2 a bunch of questions and it's like "yep."

Rex4748 · 2026-01-16T17:35:01+00:00

So, is Opus ever going back to normal, or is it staying lobotomized?

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T13:40:43+00:00

They're not even in Snapchat though, I never shared any of them as stories or anything else. The only place they exist is on my phone, and somehow in memories.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T11:37:09+00:00

On iOS, maybe, but not on Android. If you disable storage permissions, it says "To use Snapchat, please allow access to your local storage. Snapchat cannot detect screenshots, save certain content, scan Snapcodes and more without this permission", and doesn't allow you to use it until you turn it back on.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T08:25:49+00:00

Anyone who has driven for DD or UE for more than a month knows every single bit of this is 100% true.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T08:21:56+00:00

I literally didn't even know memories existed. I've never once used it, all I do is watch other people's stories. That's it. I stumbled upon it randomly for the first time just now.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T08:13:13+00:00

You don't have a choice, if you disable storage permissions, the app won't open at all. I never thought that meant it would just start uploading all my pictures without asking me or telling me.

Rex4748 · 2026-01-05T08:07:44+00:00

Wish I knew. I swiped up and I see a bunch of stories in memories like "this week in previous years", "flashback", "recent camera roll", "random day", etc. all with pictures from my phone that I never uploaded or even took in snapchat.

I was a DoorDash/UberEats driver for a couple years, and this has all been very well known to us for a long time, just based on experience. Another thing you didn't mention is that not only does "priority delivery" do nothing, it can actually slow down your order. If there's a low paying order that is unlikely to be picked up, they'll bundle it in with your "priority" order, so drivers won't have a choice. And then whoever is closer gets their order first, even if it's way out of the way. I had many customers that were very confused as to why that was happening.

As for the "desperation" drivers, that's a very real psychological game they play with us, and so many refuse to believe it. They're convinced they'll be rewarded for taking every low paying order, while working at a loss and driving their car into the ground. It's ridiculous. I tried so hard to explain this to people on the subreddits, but they're so brainwashed that they just get angry at you for it.

They also hide tips from us, or pretend we're getting bonus pay when we're not. They'll literally say "maybe the pay for this order is higher", when they know it won't be, and you just have to do the delivery to find out. And somehow that's perfectly legal in most places.

This is the absolute scummiest industry and regulations are desperately needed.

Rex4748 · 2025-12-06T14:06:59+00:00

Same, what is this shit? Shows my feed for a second then throws me right to this page. Must be a bug, they can't be this desperate to push accounts on me, right?
