Three months from now: Ring of previously anonymous fascists on x exposed via hack

Imagine if this wasn't just for the blue check

✅ Biometrics and ID stored forever who-knows-where ✅ Continued data mining and exploitation ✅ Total surveillance state

💩 The enshittification continues. Gotta love it.

Seriously though... I'm not bullish on this platform. I don't know what it's turning into, but if it truly is a "WeChat of the West," it's not something I'm interested in participating in. And I don't wanna have a hand in building it.

In this route, it means that X would really become an identity platform.

And us being on this platform gives it value. Gives it validity.

I wonder every single day if it makes sense to leave the platforms in protest, or stay in the belly of the beast and raise awareness from within.

I see value in both, but I don't think there's a way to know which is the "correct" or "best" approach until you have hindsight.

Either way, it's clear that we don't matter for anything other than exploitation. The business model doesn't allow for anything else, really.

(Remember to delete everything after the ampersand. Everything after it is an identifier.)

Are they requiring that?

I deleted my main, still have an AD. Guess that will probably be going too.

I've made a mistake by trying to restore a old Facebook account that I wanted to "delete", I even attempted it on two occasions, of course they demand an ID picture but their website is horrible with the phone camera so the pics always came out blurry so they always refused them.

Never again.
