i wouldnt be using twitter but if i want to see don trump jr say that tim walz drinks horse cum, i need to be using twitter with an account unfortunately.
Read that sentence again and rethink your choices.
i would like to be able to do that, but unfortunately i'm not a republican so these things don't have an insignificant effect on my life.
I guess I don't get the joke here.
idk apparently people think i'm joking. Personally i prefer to know what the political parties are getting up to on the internet, and elon musk the cunt himself thinks i shouldnt be able to without an account so thats cool.
The choice of headline you went with made the whole thing read like an inside out sarcasm.
oh yeah no that original tweet is real. It's not sarcastic at all.
I don't have a X/Twitter account anymore but can still read tweets or whatever they're called these days
They're called "xeets." In my head anyway.
you can still read some tweets of some accounts, it blocks most of the new tweets and visible replies, plus if you wanna see anything spicy, you literally need an account.
technically the web archive gets around this but then you need a direct tweet link, and finding that shit is too much effort.
I mean, I've never had a twitter account but I've heard it plenty. Just peek over at /r/conservative once a week or so.
I finally got around to deleting Facebook this year too when I found out they'll cross post your Instagram stuff to Facebook if you don't click a box somewhere.
I get a lot more stuff done without the doomscrolling.
is that somewhere on lemmy?
Fair, but if the excuse is that you can't get the information elsewhere, that's just not true. I'd rather give reddit the page views and clicks over Facebook or Twitter.
At least over there, Nazi content actually earns you a ban.
reddit ironically has a worse front page, and worse business practices, arguably.
I mean I agree, I didn't like what they were getting up to, that's why I'm here, but as bad as Twitter? Comon. Have you heard Elon lately?
i mean spez was head mod of jailbait...
They're both pretty bad/
Yeah, but they got rid of those, didn't they? Elon is going full throttle in the OTHER direction. I mean, clearly one is worse than the other. I'm sure from a money perspective, it didn't make sense to shut down /The_Donald. Elon would LOVE to have that crowd.
i guess from that perspective sure, but they're both pretty terrible, elon just has a humiliation fetish im pretty sure.
yeah idk i find i dont really have a problem with doomscrolling, it's easy enough to just hit the close button and do something else for me, other than that i like to see the stupid shit people are posting.
also its nice to verify certain posts as "real"
