This is unusable. @Twitter shouldn't run @Twitter. I tried escaping to Tweetdeck but now I don't see how I can use emojis there. I am trying to remember a worst redesign (I have seen many mediocre ones) and failing.

Among other unusable things, I can no longer have an instapaper button? Bookmarks used to only work on mobile, but now it's on desktop but add tweet to moments has disappeared? The amount of bugginess of Twitter has always been amazing and needed fixing. So they introduced more.

For example, there's no easy way to add a quote tweet (like I am about to do) to a thread. Anyone who uses Twitter regularly likely encounters this. We copy link to tweet, delete after question mark, blah blah. Twitter designers don't use Twitter part 897.https://twitter.com/Vordio/status/1153314441087332353 …

zeynep tufekci Retweeted Andy Boyan (boyan.eth)
I've noticed this over the years. Twitter people tend not to use it much. I've seen people high up in Twitter leave Twitter and ... they go silent on Twitter. They were never core Twitter users, did some tweeting while employed and very little afterwards.https://twitter.com/andyboyan/status/1153394264971317248 …

Andy Boyan (boyan.eth) @andyboyanReplying to @zeynep @TwitterIf you go find and follow a lot of Twitter's Product Owners and designers, many post what appears to be a company requirement of tweets per week. Almost always about pets or food or travel. Infrequently interacting with real conversations.3 replies 6 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -
For example, direct message notifications are a total mess. Does it include "other" or only followed accounts? Depends if on mobile or not. Who the heck wants notifications for "other" accounts? No way to separate. Any actual frequent user would realize this. Not the design team.

You can't hit the tweet down arrow to copy link to tweet anymore either. You have to click the tweet and copy it from the browser address bar. So much fail.

The copy URL option is in the share button below the Tweet.

It is. But it adds ? text which makes it, for example unsearchable unless you know to strip the code. I think it also doesn't work if you try to add it as a quote tweet to a thread. All heavy Twitter content producers need clean URL links to search and easy way to add to thread.

Adding it as a Quote Tweet works. Searching for it without removing the client code doesn't. But that was already the case with the old UI as far as I remember.

Yes, it was the case with the old UI, too. It's a case in point that Twitter designers don't use Twitter.
