pic.twitter.com/6NHLlXLbk7Instantaneously, Circles became an opportunity for the exhibitionism-curious to show off their goods in what felt like a safe and not-entirely-public way.
And, hey, if what their posts inspired a hottie to slip into your DMs, then even better, right?However, all good things must come to an end.
And, as the prophecy foretold, today, October 31, 2023, X’s Circles has left this mortal coil. And on Halloween, no less! Spooky!Circles has been officially removed.
pic.twitter.com/sS6qpLjfomFirst of all, don’t panic: Just because X users no longer have the ability to employ the feature, that doesn’t mean previous posts to Circles are suddenly public property.(Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if that were the case?)Despite its removal, your Circles posts remain available in your feed solely to those who were already in your Circle—they will not go public.
