I’ve already filtered them out from searches. Might as well do this as well.

Now I’ve only had to use Twitter sparingly since Musk took it over, but before he took it over I wasn’t getting harassed or death threats from randoms for merely posting a picture. Site is beyond disgusting and disrepair at this point. Nazi content is also getting pushed to the fore. Something is definitely up since he took over and fucked with the algorithm and other things.

They’ve gone and Dugg themselves a whole that will never come out of while Musk is there.

Better real time engagement. Think of it like your own personal news ticker or curated radio station with updates. I used it to get updates from sporting events when I didn’t necessarily have access to a radio/tv and couldn’t watch/ listen to a game, etc. because I was indisposed, at a function, movie, etc.I had a whole host of journalists, personalities, and people that would basically/ practically give me play by play and keep me informed of what was going on. It was actually truly great. Twitter isn’t even close to what it once was.

Edit: wanted to add that you could think of Facebook as the modern rolodex at the time, still actually, while Twitter is/was more suitable for more real time engagement. Reddit sort of became the substitute for that up until they disastrously decided to shut down 3rd party apps. Now the site/subreddits are getting garbage content and it’s a ghost town. Most subreddits I was on are barely getting anything orany posts anymore. Lemmy is definitely filling the void. I mean, at least it has usable apps.

A couple people I know dumped their teslas because they didn’t want to support the nazi.

You forgot one major thing: the porn has left in droves.

I’ve seen weekend at Bernie’s. She’s a glorified sock puppet. I’m amazed they even let her out to speak.

Twitter(/X - such a bullshit crappy name) is the Kmart of web 2.0 companies. Just a husk of what it was and in a massive free fall decline.

Recommended system requirements for this one?

Not really. I just patched my app, and the app of others, so it doesn’t display anything nor track anything. Reddit caused themselves way more unnecessary harm and damage/ self inflicted wounds than they should have. That’s all if i/we actually still need to go to reddit for anything. I’ve been purposely avoiding them and their search results and doing fine. The traffic I/we would’ve given them is significantly less.

Sounds like a new industry about to pop up: the secure your vehicle and privacy industry. Just like there’s after market parts and repair, we’ll be needing to go to an expert to rip out all the bs from cars.

I’m still laughing at reddit and the ads thing. They pushed me more into blocking all their ads and tracking even harder, and to patch their official app when I had no choice but to go to reddit. Everything they’ve done has backfired as far as I’m concerned.

Casino industry. I.e. mgm, penn, Caesars, station casinos, etc.

It doesn’t suck and just works. Really well customizable and adblocking/ security is better than what chrome has turned into. Chrome used to be decent but is garbage now. I’d rather use edge before chrome.
