Hard to take Twitter seriously as anything other than AI rage farm. Check out any reply fometing hate against minorities, LGBTQIA2S+ persons, Palestinians, "woke liberals" and it's always an account made in 2022 (or newer) with sub-1k follows, 15k+ followers, and a post count in the 5 digits

Every morning, I check Twitter to keep up to date. Sorry, but Bluesky's inability to provide a simple newest-to-oldest news feed makes this a 3rd-string SM app. Maybe there is a way, but it shouldn't require effort to curate stuff life this

Used to stomach 30 minutes of scrolling. Now it's like 5.

For every dozen real accounts fighting the good fight on behalf of murdered Palestinian children, there are 40 fake accounts doing "FAFO" rhetoric that are prioritized by the coding to drown them out

Media literacy has never been worse, and you have people (that should know better) forming opinions based on the latter rather than the former, without any willingness to investigate the conclusions they've landed on.

It makes me sick.

Sort of what I mean about the "taking effort" though.

And yes, fully aware of the hypocrisy of my media literacy comment, by saying so. It's definitely on me to put in the effort to curate a feed that works, and thanks for pointing me in the right direction

lol leave it to this exact moment for that feed to go down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's super disappointing that people still post on it. Especially a lot of people on Canucks Twitter that I would have thought would have left it out of principle. But I guess likes are a drug🤷
reply
I still post on it, too. But that's because of (skeet above) and out of a staunch refusal to let the laminated nazi think he caught a W.

I'll keep RT'ing my anti-zionist, "musk is a nazi" and "[insert objectively awful Canadian MAGA-wannabe pundit here] should die" until I'm permabanned.
reply
I would argue that an app full of MAGA AI bots rage farming, mixed in with porn ads in every reply feed, on a platform owned by a literal Nazi sieg heiling in public while cosplaying as white Kanye, make X a "3rd rate" SM app.

But that's just me. I just don't get how anyone can still be on there.

it's genuinely so bad it's the reason I just pop on to see what silly things my friends are saying. it's so bad that I don't even use my FYP and I -still- see constant slop
