Twitter is testing its own version of stories. Yes, the new feature called ‘Fleets’ will allow users to post photos, videos, and text that’ll disappear after 24 hours.
While the new stories-like feature is initially only being tested in Brazil, netizens aren’t quite impressed.
#RIPTwitter started trending on Twitter and people are questioning the platform for this ‘unwanted’ feature.
#Twitter is gonna introduce stories. I have one question : #RIPTwitter pic.twitter.com/ilxLycnJw5

Many people pointed out that they need an edit or save bookmarks options on Twitter and not the 24-hour stories.
Twitter losing its professionalism over undesriable need of community for 24hr story ..instead why can’t u just add edit tweet button..for god sake #RIPTwitter pic.twitter.com/MlXmIYpqmf

twitter doesnt need a story function OR an edit button. twitter needs folders to organize bookmarks. #RIPTwitter pic.twitter.com/tXmVuTW21Z

we just wanted the edit tweet button and a way to organize bookmarks we didnt ask for this-
Others mentioned the reasons for which they left social media platforms like IG and FB and now Twitter is following their footsteps.
#RIPTwitter you see? adding more traffic, we left Facebook and Instagram for those kind of reasons. @Twitter we’re sincerely asking for edit button.

Avoiding Facebook ,whatsapp and instagram for their undesired stories and now Twitter wants to join the trend instead of giving us an edit button #RIPTwitter pic.twitter.com/9T2N2Cvus3

We want edit button, not stories.
— Fanny-ZN 🇿🇦 (@fanny_miz) March 5, 2020
Anyone who wants stories can go to Instagram and Facebook #RIPTwitter pic.twitter.com/Nj1O1vwgHg
Clearly, netizens do not want Twitter to turn into another Instagram or Facebook. Some users also feel that social media won’t be the same anymore if Twitter introduces this feature.

I left instagram cause it’s just a show off site.

Twitter is one of the last major social platforms to test out a Stories format. From Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook to WhatsApp and YouTube, almost all other popular social media platforms already have this feature.
What do you think about this new feature? Yay, or Nay?
