X Kills Its Mac App, Accidentally Bans You for Switching to the iPad Version

X (formerly Twitter) has finally decided to pull the plug on the old Twitter app for Mac, which wasn't updated for years. Instead of replacing it with a modern app, the company is forcing users to use the X iPad app instead, which itself is suffering from account suspension issues.

Users on Reddit have reported that upgrading to the new X app and logging in instantly suspended their accounts.
