Trying to prep myself for when they foxify all social media platforms.
Edit: you all better be careful saying you don’t see any of it. Leon might catch wind.
It’s nice to see a place where conservative ideas can be expressed without being buried. It makes me feel less alone.
If you learn how to curate your feed, it won’t be an issue.
I don’t see any of it really, my feed is all gay stuff lol
I’m still pissed at the way Reddit was celebrating Musk’s takeover, as if it was some big loss to him. Oh boy, a billionaire lost some money that he would have wiped his ass with, this is great as long as the fascist doesn’t turn the biggest social media platform into a fascist mouthpiece!
Allright knuckleheads, here’s what you do:
-
Follow people who’s content you’re interested in
-
Browse Following and not For You
-
That’s litterally it
I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I’ll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT’S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It’s literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.
I’ve had someone assume i was a nazi because i’m still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don’t share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don’t understand how i’m able to stay; no shit, i’m able to stay because i don’t browse Following.
Now the thing is, this is how i’ve always used the internet, from the start i’ve built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing “like” on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you’re gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don’t know what to do in that situation tbh
Musk still forces his own tweets, his advertisers, and whatever else he chooses into your feed, even your “following” page. You can’t block it.
*EDIT: maybe not anymore? See replies.
