O Twitter announced that it is starting tests, exclusively for Brazil, of the so-called fleets, which are posts that expire after 24 hours. This type of content is already well known on other platforms, such as Instagram e Facebook. 4p1s3v
Os fleets resemble the tweets classics, relying primarily on text, but ing media such as photos, GIFs, and videos. In addition to having a duration of 24 hours, these posts do not allow likes, comments and retweets. However, there is a way to interact with a Fleet: just click on it and it will open a response window in a Direct message (DM), where you can continue the conversation.
In a post on twitter blog, Product Manager Mo Al Adham explains that some people feel insecure to express some ideas, because tweets are public, permanent and show engagement through likes and Retweets.
We want to make it possible for you to have conversations on the platform in new ways, with less pressure and more control, in addition to Tweets and Direct Messages (DMs)

Brazil is the first country to test Twitter's new functionality, and s criticize its need 4o235c
According to Al Adham, the Brazil was chosen to start testing the new functionality of the social network due to its relevance, as Brazilians are “ionate about talking to and following other Brazilians on the platform”, and the Fleets will be made available to s throughout the week. For now, Fleets will only be available in apps for Android e iOS, with no provision for web and desktop versions. If the tests are satisfactory, the company plans to expand the functionality to other markets.
Shortly after the announcement on the platform, some Brazilian s showed that they are not satisfied with this functionality, as Twitter would be copying other platforms. According to some tweets, other features that have been requested by s for a long time should have been taken care of, such as the organization of saved items by folders, and the necessary editing of published tweets. Here are some reactions, with typical network humor:
