Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You have only yourself to blame! 😀
They have announced it will be a natural birth,* so it will be delivered through the anus whilst Trump shags the midwife.
*For a MAGA.
Interesting to see that German Football Club, St Pauli - announced yesterday that they will be no longer using X - Calling it a "vehicle to spread hate" - or something along those lines.
They're pretty far to the left as a club, but wondering whether many others will follow suit.
Staying within the safety of my Following tab it’s only the quantity of adds that drives me mad on X
Agreed. It's only the ads that are really annoying. I've also got loads of followers since Musk took over, though most just seem to want to show me their tits. I'm still there because there are some people on it who continue to inform/entertain/amuse me.

My favourite non-local club for their ethics and diversity stance.
Finally I was able to delete my account, for months it would come up with an error.
Are these people
most just seem to want to show me their tits
And these peopleI’m still there because there are some people on it who continue to inform/entertain/amuse me
The same?
ROFL!
I’m still deriving a certain amount of childish amusement from shitposting/trolling the low-IQ knuckledraggers who infest Xitter, although not all are low IQ, there are plenty who are, I guess reasonably intelligent, but they aren’t very smart. Referring to Elonia Musk as Trump’s new First Lady, and seemingly getting away with it, is rather satisfying. [img]

Get.A.Life.
I hate new twitter, I get exposed to opinions I disagree with and sometimes people say mean things to me, it's the worst.
Old twitter was so much better. It was great when the state could give them a call and have people censored who disagreed with the official narrative. When people would get banned for heinous crimes like dead naming and dangerous conspiracy theories like maybe covid escaped from a lab. Good times.

So, ermmm, new twitter then. Although admittedly Musk seems to only do that now for authoritarian governments.
I've just given up.
Winding up thick fascist twunts was basically my reason for using it, but it was shooting fish in a barrel.
Weird thing, though. That Allison Pearson harpy - I thought she was just a Twitter 'mouth' giving it large with no trousers, just like all her sort. Lo and behold, the current story about her pathetic dribbling reveals her to be a bona fide Telegraph columnist.
I mean, honestly. I knew the Telegraph was a shit nazi comic nowadays, but I didn't realise they had a muppet like her as a 'star columnist'. Talk about scraping the barrel.

.. just feeding the algorithm. So we use our time and energy to grow the platform, while changing nothing.
X is waste of time. I deleted a while back and just don't miss it.
Like it or not, it's the place where important information is exchanged between people. It's not good that we're reliant on it, but that's what lots of organisations have allowed to happen, and it's all but impossible to just move them all to somewhere else while retaining the connections.
For example, the Fell Top Assessors ( https://twitter.com/LakesWeather) seem to be continuing this winter, while the Snowdon Weather report has deleted their account and set up a website https://yrwyddfa.live/
Losing thousands of followers to which they provided a direct feed of safety information which also had a secondary purpose of marketing. I expect local businesses would much rather the public sector whoevers hadn't done this.

Yep, my account (which I didn't use much anyway, certainly not for posting) has been gaining lots of Femalename.Bunchofnumbers followers, most of whom don't seem to own many clothes.
Also getting a fair few likes on years-old tweets, presumably to get me to engage/follow back or something.
The actual useful people I followed on there, mostly to do with transport stuff, have long since migrated to Bluesky.
It's horrific if you just get the main feed. The promoted posts on the feed I've opened just now are Musk, Darren Grimes, Alex Jones, GB News and some randomly generated "are foreigners awful, retweet if you like" sort of crap. How anyone is still putting up with that shite if they have a ounce of critical thinking is beyond me.
Well that didn't work. It was supposed to be Austrian Air's final tweet.
I'm still on there. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a particularly active user.
I don't have the content issue that so many seem to have, but I restrict my feed to people I actually choose to follow. I get the occasional "... has followed you" alert from accounts which are clearly bots, back in the day I would have blocked them but I just don't care sufficiently any more.

<edit> ah, that didn't work either - it was the case for a while that if you replaced 'x' with 'twitter' then the hamsters would understand it. No longer, it seems. </edit>
It's not just a problem if you look at 'For you'. The replies to perfectly reasonable tweets in my 'Following' feed are just hateful. And the departure of so many decent people really seems to be winding the scumbags up into a frenzy.
