Never been on it and never will be. Social Media is toxic. And a place I want nothing to do with

Boards . .That's another sewer I need to go over and close my account on.
And I don't care whatever the fuXk he calls it, I'm never gonna be one of Musk's minions.
I like Gubu, it's homely . . more my demographic.

Looks like an attempt to stall haermorage of users from America to the insta version
Whole purchase was underpinned by presumed upping revenue from advertising,without American users...is it viable or time to cut and run for him??
That being said,it's much more userable without the constant stream of yanks,and their devious shite taking over it/trending....and culture war shite starting to die a death on it,with much more sports/results gain prominence,alongside with better placement of hobbies/interest of mine on it

Appropriate, it's a short step to eXpire - one can only hope and to be followed soon after by Meta/Facebook.

I use nitter as a proxy to follow loi scores in real time. So I'll miss that when he inevitably sinks the ship.
And to think people actually trust this absolute man child with their lives.

This is a good read, shows Musk's obsession with X and how he nearly ruined PayPal by trying to migrate it from Linux to Windows!

Am still there.
There was a great extension called Who Unfollowed Me which now no longer works. Some background changes by Twitter engineers killed it.

Re: X the rebranded social platform
Biden’s administration is suing Musk’s “X” for not hiring illegal workers. Musk claims he’s just following the law that requires only permanent residents be allowed to work in advanced weapon programs, in fact they openly advertised this. (Export control laws)
This comes just a month after a judge prohibited the Biden administration from working with social media companies after it was seen to have overstepped during the Covid hysteria.
It stinks of pettiness or something far beyond that, vengeance.

The E.U. Are threatening x because of the spread of misinformation and hate speech with regards to the Israel Palestinian conflict. I’ve heard of a lot of gruesome videos being shared although I haven’t seen them I doubt people are watching them on twitter?

Listening to Musk’s ‘go feck yourself’ when talking about advertisers blackmailing him, very impressive. Definition of ‘feck you money’. He’s just saying what everyone else wish they had the power to say.
