I miss the old Twitter when I saw the stupid X animation.

~~Twitter~~ X is Elon Musk’s world. Pretty soon he’ll have so much control over his platform that he can practically cron kings and manipulate outcomes to fit his personal political agenda. And don’t even get me started on his whole stupid “X the everything app bullshit.

The only everything app that has succeeded so far is WeChat in China. But it’s apparently a surveillance app for the masses by the government. Seriously, why the hell would I want to link my social media account with my bank account and even my government ID? What’s the benefit in that?

I’d rather keep the digital me disconnected to the real me.

Can you really do everything with this app, or is it basically like Twitter?

I don't want to do everything with this app or any app. An everything app means monopoly and manipulation.

It also means an eventual failure
