honestly big shoutouts to el*n m*sk for fucking up twitter so bad

the fact that i literally can't use the site at all now without running the risk of my "impressions" resulting in alt-right chuds getting paid, even just an extra cent, has finally given me the motivation i needed to uninstall/block twitter on all my devices

and since im at it i've finally switched from chrome to firefox, added a bunch of ad blocking/privacy/QoL extensions, changed my default search engine to duckduckgo, the whole nine- all stuff i should've done ages ago but just never did

so, uh, hey! shoutouts to him for being a fucking idiot and driving me off the platform for good, thereby prompting me to change all this other stuff

#rambles #to be serious for a moment it is a genuine shame that hes ruined twitter #especially since there isn't a single clear replacement #there are a bunch of options- threads/bluesky/cohost/mastodon/tumblr/etc.#but each has their own individual drawbacks and people will be drawn to different platforms accordingly #so unless a given community makes a concerted effort to move together people will just be scattered to the winds #and no matter where you go you certainly wont have the same breadth of content/users who you could stumble across by chance #now do i think twitter was a net negative to the world overall? probably #it certainly expedited the spread of misinformation/general brain rot #but it had its uses and its a shame those are gone
