Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.

Edit: you all better be careful saying you don't see any of it. Leon might catch wind.

My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it's just for the porn.

So like, lots of trans stuff? (joking~sortof~)

[-] python@programming.dev 26 points 1 month ago

I freaking wish! Then at least I'd have someone to fawn over F1nnster with :(

Just use it for the porn. Occasionally will click on a trending tweet and immediately get bombarded with tons of Russian propaganda. "Ukraine are Nazis" "America first!" "Look at this poor starving (white) american child, Biden just approved 60 billion to Ukraine!"

All shit like that, it focuses very strongly on what Russia wants Americans to believe, in my experience.

It’s wild to me that so many people trust Elon with their porn viewing habits 👀

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't forget endless AI generated images that morons just eat up

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

You know you can just... stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 34 points 1 month ago

We are on social media right now?

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but lemmy is awesome

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

I'm on Mbin, but I don't disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago
[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

Again, I have to agree.

You can, but you'd be wrong.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Sometimes this feels like antisocial media.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

It's pretty much just a forum with voting.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

That's what blocking is for:-)

I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Fair enough. Fediverse is just better anyways IMO, barely counts as social media lol

I'm just here on lemmy. I've been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.

[-] Primer81@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Why November? Is something happening?

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Finally, the End of all things.

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm still pissed at the way Reddit was celebrating Musk's takeover, as if it was some big loss to him. Oh boy, a billionaire lost some money that he would have wiped his ass with, this is great as long as the fascist doesn't turn the biggest social media platform into a fascist mouthpiece!

[-] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 month ago

funnily enough, my twitter feed doesn't have any conservative media.

it is full of gay bara scalie porn, though.

I like to clown on nazis

Especially when they're shitting bricks in the reply section of a post from either Mark Hamill or Stephen King

Edit: We need a collab

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I recently had to login in to update to a new 2FA app and oh my was it a wasteland. No one I had followed was still on it. And I mean that after scrolling for 5 minutes. It was just terrible.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 6 points 1 month ago

I mean, if they left it, possibly went to Mastodon, that sounds wonderful to me:-).

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It’s not perfect, but Mastidon is starting to pass the tipping point for content.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

That's the neat part, I'm not.

[-] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I follow scientists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc and get tweets with the latest covid research. I also see a lot of stuff from Gaza and a few things about movies. I'm moving off there but while some people are only on there and giving me information, I'll keep going back.

[-] kobra@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Be the change you want to see. Those people will never leave the platform as long as people like you still engage with them there.

I don't see any of it really, my feed is all gay stuff lol

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Not on Twitter but lol, what a leading question

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I installed a extension to block everyone with a checkmark after Elon introduced paying for them. My feed has even less shitters then before its amazing. If I ever want to add more I just go to any AOC tweet and let the extension work.

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Allright knuckleheads, here's what you do:

  1. Follow people who's content you're interested in

  2. Browse Following and not For You

  3. That's litterally it

I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I'll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT'S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It's literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.

I've had someone assume i was a nazi because i'm still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don't share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don't understand how i'm able to stay; no shit, i'm able to stay because i don't browse Following.

Now the thing is, this is how i've always used the internet, from the start i've built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing "like" on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you're gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don't know what to do in that situation tbh

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Musk still forces his own tweets, his advertisers, and whatever else he chooses into your feed, even your "following" page. You can't block it.

*EDIT: maybe not anymore? See replies.

[-] ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This is just a lie. Have him muted and never see his tweets.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not a lie, it's how I remember it working (and complained about at the time) but it's entirely possible they changed things since I deleted.
