Downvote anything about X/Twitter. No one cares. This is a waste of bandwith. Delete the X app. It’s mostly pedos and racists at this point anyways.
No offense OP, no hate to you. Saw someone post a similar comment earlier and I agreed “yeah my life would be better if we just stopped pretending X is important”
I’d say highlighting the current failings of the platform in regards to current events is pretty important, especially given how large of a platform it still is.
Think of it like this: you have a large group of people hovering around a person with a bull horn shouting lies. Rather than pointing it out to those on the edge of the crowd and near to you, you let it go unchallenged. This will likely lead to bad and worse outcomes.
Is there ever a time disinformation is not spreading on X?
But hey, clearly the community at large does not agree with me (us). I won’t ask again, but whenever you guys think the time is right myself and 32 others are chomping at the bits to never have to think about X again.
Cool sentiment but when basically every world government, every news organization, every content creator, every public figure, every corporation, etc, are ALL ON TWITTER, we kinda have to care what happens on Twitter.
At least until they leave it.
How do you forsee that happening if we don’t publicize the bullshit? There are ways to filter this shit on your end without making the rest of the world do it.
I don’t know anyone who posts exclusively on twitter and outside of journalists very few have exclusive content on twitter.
But like I said an hour and a half ago it was just a passing urge and I have no plans of commenting in the future pleading for people not to post twitter links. I’ll just let it die out when it dies out.
Although if you have any advice for how to filter a lemmy instance I would very much appreciate that as I haven’t really dug into the settings yet

No shit. Never had Twitter, never will, I’m so sick of hearing about it.

Agreed. Stop the spread of Elon spam. He needs useful idiots.
