I still don't get why people use twitter aka X

Twitter (gonna call is that until X actually becomes this supposed "everything app") can be useful if you put a lot of time into curating your experience. If you don't, it's a public toilet that deranges everyone who gazes into it. It's like someone made the YouTube comments section the entire site. Hell, even the experienced users fall victim to the engagement farming vortex. I do not use it and I do not feel like I am missing anything. Everyone I know who does use it I feel is worse off as a person for it. No thanks.

 

I don't really **** with it much.

 

I’ll admit most of my exposure to Twitter is actually from here. So much of it whether it’s sports or politics appears angry, fearful or both.

I’ve got enough stress in my life dealing with job, family and other things more direct to my life. Why would I want to add further to that by spending so much time doom scrolling.

 

The pharmacy thing is just a "skin" on Truepill, which itself is fledgling.

 

Just avoid the "for you" side of Twitter and stick to whoever you are following and there is no curating needed.

If you want to be on the "for you" side then yes you need to do a lot of clicking on "not interested in this post".

 

but then how can I get brain washed ??????

 

it's stormfront 2.0. i'm just surprised sk-driver doesn't autoplay whenever content from that site appears

 

If you like Nazis and Crypto, sure.

 

And you have a weird fasciation with homosexuals, trans, and the appropriate state of children's genitalia.

I stopped using it for the last couple months and haven't missed it all that much. Seems like too much effort to curate it in order to weed out the bots and influencers who are just trying to get clicks for themselves.

One need look no further than Elon Musk to see what it does to people.

 

I used to use twitter for breaking news, but ever since Elon took it over, news never comes up in my feed.

 

Today is the perfect time to use Twitter/X it's a laugh riot at the moment. The greatest salt mine in the world.

 

It has become a better source of news than TV or newspapers.

 

It's an incredible and limitless source of information and commentary about every subject imaginable, and it's much improved since Elon bought it.

 

It's mandatory to use now to pay your taxes.

 

I bet u would say that since Elon is tweeting or xting 24/7.

Since Elon outed himself as a relatively farther right wing, X has become his tool

For info about the Rockets, Celtics and OKC those teams that I usually follow, it's still good.

For film information, entertainment and politics it is still bona fide.

 

I’m looking at hiring a social media manager and in doing research I realized that Twitter is now totally irrelevant with the demographics I’m looking at for various ventures I’m in: namely non-political non-crazy people.

Instagram, Facebook and to a lesser extent TikTok is where it’s at.

Musk has totally poisoned the well.

 

Did you post this from the Maldives?

 

yes

 

I like X but like any social media site I discern who or what is worth following and who should be ignored.

Most of the left hates X because they no longer ban conservative thought, as Twitter did in accordance with the Biden Administration's directives. I dislike most censorship along with totalian censors.
