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.

    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.

    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).

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

    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!

    it is full of gay bara scalie porn, though.

      For me it’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a few local politicians doing stupid things mixed in.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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.

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

          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.

        Ads yes, everything else no. I haven’t seen a musk tweet or any tweet from someone I don’t follow that wasn’t sponsored or an rt from someone I do follow at any point in the following tab.

    It’s nice to see a place where conservative ideas can be expressed without being buried. It makes me feel less alone.

      Which conservative ideas, though? It’s fine to disagree on like tax policy, or food regulation, but hopefully you can understand why many people won’t tolerate beliefs that actively harm others, even if you firmly hold those beliefs
