How does this work? It's filtered but still visible?
Keep using it! That'll fix it! It's like when a company gives you shitty service you keep giving them your business and eventually they'll give you good service!
That's how it works, right?
Sometimes you don't even realize you're on it. I watched a clip on a news article. I was mildly surprised that the X branding only showed up after I started watching the clip. That clip was fine, it wasn't even really political. Then it auto played Alex Jones talking about Democrats being traitors and trying to destroy the country.
So when the fuck did they start removing branding on embedded stuff? And then when the fuck did they start trying to auto play videos? And videos from a completely different account and subject matter?
If they're that shady just visiting the website I don't even want to think about what their apps are doing.
Not sure how you got away with that… Every single time I have been forced to use Twitter for a video, it has been an awful experience. Their video player is one of the worst modern video players I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Plus they gate everything behind a login nowadays, so even embedded players in news articles won’t work unless you sign in first. Twitter is rapidly becoming Pinterest for fascists; It grabs content, then walls it behind a login page.
I had the same experience before so my guess is they're trying new stuff.
That's not a problem. It's the interaction and posting that gives them power and content. Simply never interact with the site actively.
As far as trying to kill the site yeah. But it's a pretty big problem if someone thinks Alex Jones is being endorsed by a reputable news site. And you only know it's Alex Jones if you know his voice and know to check the corner for an account name.
That's fair
He's in the upper echelons of government now. No need to pretend anymore
Meta is even worse.
Even people who were/are on the right are noticing it.
Tom Segura isn't a great guy, but I saw a clip of one of his podcasts where they were talking about Instagram. Any post anyway related to a Black person is just gonna be filled with comments saying the n word.
As fucked up as it is, TikTok appears to be the only big one that's removed hate speech for a while now. It's just become incredibly normalized which is why the wealthy keep gobbling up social media.
They want a race war, a culture war, anything to stop 99% of the population from figuring out the 1% have been fighting a class war for decades.
It's all a distraction to stop people from talking about why billionaires are fucking over everyone else and we're not stopping it.
Yeah it's a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).
But don't be racist towards them tho!
Yet you continue to use it…
This is what I don't get, people not migrating from a shit platform. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.
They all just reach this critical mass where people decide the benefit of everyone else using it outweighs all the negatives of the platform being abusive to its own users
FOMO is incredibly powerful unfortunately.
The important stuff will be reposted on another platform. It's the whole point of [email protected]
The important stuff to you might not be the important stuff to someone else. And not everything gets reposted.
I'm not saying that's a good reason to stay on Twitter, but I am saying it's a big reason people stay.
As soon as Musk bought it I reactivated my long-dormant account so that I could delete it properly, I can't understand why so many people are using X.
You're all patrons of the nazi bar, only in this case the nazis bought the bar. Twitter is dead. Migrate to somewhere else like you probably have multiple times before if you've been on the Internet for any amount of time.
I offered to help anyone on Facebook migrate with me to mastodon who wanted to. These are people I've known across three towns and five different jobs. I've gotten and given leads and references for jobs from and to so many of them, and hope to in the future. That's the only reason I even still have Facebook. I'm about to completely call it quits and wipe everything off the account and just leave a pinned post on my profile with a link to a mastodon profile with my real name.
I put out the first version of that post while I'm getting my data fully packed up. Not a single response. Not even a like. I mentioned it on a post by an LGBT content creator I've kept up with since I worked with her ages ago. She's been building up a portfolio of reviews of everything from beauty products to sex toys and has actually gotten some pretty interesting brand deals lately. She'd never even heard of mastodon.
These big social media sites are so ingrained in people's lives in so many different ways. Ultimately you're right but every time I see a comment like this it gives...

I suspect many platforms detect and shadowban content like this, or at least demote it or restrict its visibility. It's what I would do if I ran an unethical social media platform trying to increase the number of active users.
Meh, there are a bajillion other ways to participate in society. Not the same thing at all. I've been off Facebook for over fifteen years now and it's been great. I text or call people, and if they care about me they do the same. Sometimes I even get cards in the mail still. It's wonderful.
If you got zero engagement when your friends normally at least drop a thumbs up then that post never showed up on anyone's feeds.
