Have you heard the big news? Twitter is ending “Fleets.”
What’s a fleet, you ask? Well, it was a ripoff of Instagram stories (which were a ripoff of Snapchat stories) that Twitter tried starting in November of 2020. Apparently, they’re ending the experiment less than a year later, on August 3rd, 2021.
Here’s what the official Twitter account (on Twitter) said:
As soon as they announced the change, people responded sincerely and maturely. Just kidding. They tweeted a bunch of jokes on Twitter at the expense of the very platform they were using.
Good riddance, fleets! No one liked you.
