Twitter is a widely used social media platform. With over 330 million active users around the world, the microblogging platform gives a user a variety of content from serious news to funniest videos. While every user wants to get an 'edit button' feature to edit their tweets, Twitter is testing a Stories-like feature called 'Fleets.' This feature is currently available only in Brazil and it is on the same likes like Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat stories. The new addition has not impressed the netizens and #RIPTwitter has started trending since morning. Netizens are mocking the idea of introducing stories on Twitter by making funny memes and jokes at the micro-blogging social media platform.

As per reports, the fleets will disappear after 24 hours and they can't be retweeted or liked. When someone replies to the story, it will go as a DM to the tweeter. So instead of a public conversation and permanent tweets, the fleets will disappear and the conversations would be in direct messages. Twitter users for a long time users have been asking for an edit button. The feature is being tested in Brazil and depending on how it goes, it would be introduced in other countries. But people are far from impressed with the idea. It would take away the essence of microblogging and thus calling it the end of Twitter. Thus funny memes are being shared with #RIPTwitter.

With no feature to edit a tweet that has been already tweeted, many users have to delete their tweet if there's some mistake or immediately make another tweet in a thread to correct it. So for long, users have been asking for an edit button but looks like Twitter is more inspired by the stories format from other competitors.
