Twitter (now X) has become a great platform for following news, and many media groups (including ours) share links to…
You must log in or register to comment.
“babe, wake up, it’s time for your hourly post about Elon Musk/Twitter”
I had blocked “Elon Musk” on RiF and didn’t knew how good I had it. Hope Jerboa devs add something like that.
Now I understand the rename. It is much harder to block X.
Oh how I miss RiF…
You could do that?? Years of using the app and I never even knew… 😥
Artemis has this, currently the overall app is in beta & you have to be using an account from artemis.camp (until the kbin api is fully rolled out to all instances)
I think you can do it in Sync, it has a bajillion options. You should be able to do it once Boost comes out too, as it was an original option.
You know you can just scroll past things you’re not interested in, right?
You know if you block something you aren’t interested in you don’t even have to scroll past it, right?
Yup, and I’m all for blocking! Go for it.
I’m not, however, a fan of people who comment just to complain about seeing something they don’t like instead of curating their feed it moving past. Which is why I’ve said nothing to the folks wishing for proper block/mute functions (even though a random post really isn’t the place where that’s gonna do anything; spent that energy making feature requests or communities for those upcoming apps where the devs will actually see it) and made the comment to get person snarkily complaining about Musk content.
I’m not so sure that would be effective in a politics thread with lots of big emojis
Looks like I can filter against posts by keyword on Sync for Lemmy.
Man-child overpays for company, makes a concerted effort to ruin the things that make it good, then complains that it’s not good anymore.
For someone who claims to be smart, Elon is a fucking idiot.
Tends to be true of the vast majority of people that scream about how smart they are
Will it just go out of business already? I’m tired of hearing about stupid ideas from a billionaire grifter.
Get hundreds of millions of people to quit using it finally, and all the advertisers that went back to quit propping up the dying company.
SOMETHING is keeping it in business, and it’s not constant cash from Elon. He hasn’t sold any new stock lately that I’m aware of, and is what he’d need to do to pump in more money. Which Tesla shareholders get really pissed when he does.
“Although advertisers have taken a stand against this change, Musk plans to go ahead with it anyway.”
Lol what a fucking renob.
The one thing Twitter was still sort of useful for was getting feeds from news organizations that aren’t on Mastodon yet, this is going to kill it for that.
Yup. I still go to Twitter to supplement what I get news-wise from here and Mastodon, and as they drive news sites from Twitter, the less use I have for it.
RSS is still a thing
Twitter (now X) has become a great platform for following news
Press (X) for doubt
Press (Twitter) for doubt
FTFY
That’s an innovative way to combat clickbaiting.
You know you can add additional text along with the link, right? like the headline of the news?
Keeping up with Twitter news has become like watching a Netflix show that you know got canceled before any of the plot threads were resolved.
Twitter’s death is inevitable at this point, so who cares about the details?
And it doesn’t even matter. I’m starting to wonder if Elon is just trying to see how much he can annoy people without them moving to another social media platform. Twitter wasn’t great before and is now much worse from what I can tell, yet its users don’t actually care because if they did, they’d have moved to alternatives, which hasn’t really happened.
Another Elon decision that is not good. What else is new ?
This moron is trying too hard to kill Twitter (X). I really don’t understand how many people are comfortable with his vesianic decisions and keep using the platform as if nothing happens.
