Just today it was announced Xitter was planning to remove some functionality in the Block feature, which of course has all sorts of legal and market ramifications. One could easily imagine the fuckhead is trying to do some should-be-illegal market manipulation again, I dunno. But let’s say you’ve been scraping along in the land of rapists and poison honey, just to follow the sad desperate personalities who haven’t been able to extricate themselves from the garbage fire yet. Maybe it’s worth getting an outside perspective on what your current user experience looks like, and decide if you still want to keep doing this.
D’Angelo Wallace made a video about trying to create a new Xitter account and not get overwhelmed with ragebait and right wing content. Worth a look. Although if you are a person who appreciates my quaint ableism policy that nobody in the internet is following these days, note that D’Angelo does use the mild everyday ableist lingo, and skip the video. But also if anybody shouldn’t be on Xitter, it’s you. Take care of yourselves, people.
Because the video has musk’s shit-eating face on the thumbnail, I’ll hide it below the fold. Also content warnings for all the fascism, transphobia, and conversely liberal despair that is now typical of the internet.

I nuked my two main Xitter accounts after the shithead bought the company; one of which has been reactivated by someone else (who has 1 follower and 0 posts), while the other is fallow. That leaves one account which I created fifteen (15) years ago pre-transition, and never got around to deleting. It amuses me that my dead identity is still ghosting around on a dying social media platform.
poetic!
