'Rummler is now blind in his left eye, his tear duct has been destroyed and the “flaps of my eye are barely holding on,” he said. Doctors found pieces of plastic and glass in his skull as well as metal in his stomach lining, and “pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel from my eye,” he said.'

Ah yes, X, definitely full of real people and not a propaganda machine

As long as people quote their shit it will never stop. I never had an X account, never visit the site and ignore all shit that comes from there. It's totally simple and easy.

Me either, Twitter just seems stupid as fuck from the get go

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Twitter was really good for following bars and music venues to check happy hours and concert dates. Not much use beyond that.

Totally. Like most (anti-)social media. I avoid them hard. Yes, Lemmy kinda is, too. I know 😁

Yes it is. Have you not heard of all the large organizations and government just now beginning to question their use of it.

"Most tweets, especially those that are surfaced by The Algorithm and not your follows, are quite likely created by someone with their own interests" does not imply "No real users/organisations exist there"
