Launched globally on Tuesday, Twitter’s new feature ‘fleets’ appears at the top of the timeline and allows users to post content that disappears in 24 hours.
It’s bad news for those of us waiting for an edit button or a more proactive approach in dealing with online harassment, but good news for anyone wanting Twitter to get a little more Snapchat and Instagram-esque.
That thing you didn’t Tweet but wanted to but didn’t but got so close but then were like nah.
We have a place for that now—Fleets!

i’m cool with twitter stories as long as they’re used how they’re supposed to be: making ur life seem miserable. making ur life seem perfect is for instagram. there will be none of that here

Tik Tok copied Vine, one of Twitter’s biggest failures.
Instagram copied Tik Tok, by making Reels.
Twitter copied Instagram, by introducing Stories, which Instagram stole from Snapchat. pic.twitter.com/XzQXNGCUSX
