I don't think that solutions like that work with that orange idiot, and we need to be careful about thinking they might. I know you're only joking really, but still.

I'm from Dublin. Tea, and everyone I know said tea. So this map is suspect, for me.

I wasn't using my X account much in the last few months, just looking the odd time, but today I deactivated my account there.

Yeah, it can be either on for everyone or off for everyone. It would be good to be able to do it individually. I made a list for those I follow whose re-skeets clog up my feed, so that's where they go.
