Did you read the article? The article completely disagrees with the title - world of difference between “abandoned” and “not operational yet”.

That title isn’t just click-bait, it’s straight-up misinformation. Even the article itself says that TWISTER and ERNST weren’t abandoned, they just aren’t operational yet (and the one that was actually abandoned just didn’t work, if the other commenter is to be believed).

As a German, many of my countrymen and -women are rather embarassing.

Also on the minus, now everyone has to provide ID in some way to legally access social media.

Or bots are just that cheap.
