Can we agree on not posting anything directly from twitter? It's absolutely useless without an account.
I'm not sure where to go as an alternative; Mastodon doesn't have the same community or blend of personalities and viewpoints as Twitter. Ah well.
I’m sure getting advertisers a better ROI is the goal. I’m glad someone is doing something about the bots. Jack et all didn’t give two shits and lied to investors and advertisers. This is a welcome change.
If you want a platform full of bots, build your own. Simple as.
Instead it looks like we will be paying AND they will be selling our data and shoving adverts in our faces willy nilly as before.
Stuff ‘dealing with bots’, this is worse.
Example: You pay for a vehicle and they take all of your vehicle data and resell it. Uber as another, you pay for the ride yet get ads on your journey. There are many more examples.
Just be honest about your bias against X and Elon.
I'm not 'biased' against Mr. Musk, I think he has many impressive accomplishments under his belt. I just won't blindly praise everything he does. I wish his 'anti-establishment' senses would make him more anti-bulk collection, it seems inconsistent to me.
In particular, some public safety / emergency response accounts post safety-critical real-time updates. Visiting their pages when not logged in provides data that is years out-of-date.
I'm hoping this causes a rapid exodus and my one use case for twitter goes away.
Maybe a paywalled website that is actively hostile to non-users shouldn't be considered a source of news ?
Huh? Unless you meant that you can't play without JavaScript (which is unfair considering that the other website can't even load with JavaScript off), this is blatantly false that I even doubt if you have really used it.
But yeah, I also don't appreciate the restrictions.
