If you've been visiting our website in recent weeks, you may have noticed some changes in the header and footer on our pages. We have removed the X logo and are no longer providing a link to our account on the X (formerly Twitter) social media platform. Given the past couple years of changes in leadership, community policies, and community makeup on X; socPub has decided to suspend posting on our X account. Admittedly, we always had a low following on this account so the statement we're making here is less significant than when other online publications take a similar action.

While all eyes are on how Elon Musk is handling the blue checkmark over at Twitter and debating the checkmark's value and devaluing, I submit the checkmark isn't just a Twitter problem but also a social media problem no matter what platform you're using. Over the past couple weeks, I've come to the conclusion that it is a huge mistake to confuse verification with designating someone as notable or not.

For the most part, I've been viewing the revamped interface via the Chrome browser through a Windows 10 PC. After intense use of the new interface this past weekend, I have to say so far so good.
