[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 128 points 10 months ago

I refuse, mainly because I never had an account in the first place

MEDIOCRE!!!

And block all their DNS hostnames across all their personal devices? 🥰

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 32 points 10 months ago

life would 100% go on just fine if i never saw another embedded tweet ever again

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 28 points 10 months ago

I’ve had it blocked for months now and it’s amusing realizing how many “news” articles are just lists of exactly that.

I deleted the app when he switched to X but I was addicted to the content so I kept going via browser.

The content itself has weaned me off. The promoted right wingers throw off the algorithm and I'm just not addicted anymore.

all social medias are well aware of how addictive they are, and they exploit that fact to the absolute best of their ability. that i replaced my reddit addiction with lemmy addiction is irrelevant--i still spend unhealthy amounts of time on it.

i'm just thankful i never took root in any of the other instatwitsnaptok platforms. i was on facebook for a long time, but finally deleted it. you realize how liberating it is to be done with it, once you're out of the habit of constantly checking it every few minutes

I never signed up. I never saw the point of it. Still don't, other than ego stroking and brain dumping.

Remember when he tried like 4 times to weasel out of actually buying it because his mouth was writing checks his ass didn't want to cash?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 10 months ago

Then Twitter knocked Elon straight the fuck out by forcing him to buy the company.

Thank god there are still people stupid enough to act before they think. Stupid people are necessary to fight power. I’m proud to be one of them, though I know it will continue to get me in trouble.

[-] pero@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

Every time I hear Elon gets another stupid, unnecessary feature introduced, I wonder why this isn't the thing that's gonna finally kill off Twitter.

[-] DrFuggles@feddit.org 7 points 10 months ago

perfect 😂

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 6 points 10 months ago

Istg why are always free speech platforms racist i remember a website called gab.com it was very racist

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Because the strongest argument for their beliefs is that they are technically allowed to have them.

Because the negativity of existence cannot be entirely eliminated. Instead, we choose between forms of negativity.

Also because people opposed to free speech are willing to inject poison into free speech spaces in order to try and destroy them.

Just like there are terrorists doing mass shoutings in order to justify gun control expansion.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago

shootings, not shoutings lol

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, look... The Amazing Apartheid Boy is talking about "muh free speech" again.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sure thing, Apartheid Boy.
