Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
We’ve got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.
Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.
Yes. Because this post is not on twitter. It’s on a site called lemmy.world. I don’t think it even looks like twitter?
If you want no mention of twitter or the musky chodelet, I recommend Connect, a Lemmy app for Android. It features a keyword block list, so you can add as many twitter related keywords as you need.
Man, musk really fucking hates his daughter
I just realized I had no clue what her assigned gender was. Probably says something about the media I consume.
You know how when you think of something so pungent you can kinda smell it? Well, I just smelled your comment.
This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he’s turned out to be.
Despite pushback from some users
Well there’s your problem. You’re still using the fascist platform.
Any active user who “pushes back” in an attempt to “fix” the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There’s no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.
Yep. I could see people sticking around if there were not viable alternatives. And while those alternatives have indeed been around for a good while, they are very available now. There’s really no excuse now.
Now, while I do think Mastodon is the better platform, I’m curious to see how BlueSky affects Twitter’s user base once it comes out of its “beta”. For all of its faults, it does have the smallest learning curve - if really any at all - when comparing it to Twitter.
Can we please just stop talking about the clown in command, and his dogshit bigoted platform?
Everyday there is some “tech news” about X. These are not tech news anymore. How is a trans film promotion tech news? Where is the technology in this? This is just drama news at this point.
