Oh no.
Anyway.
It’s been blocked from my home network for years. As has X.

X effectively banned itself from me by requiring me to login to an account to view most tweets.
I've actively avoided Twitter for years, but occasionally I click on a link without noticing that it's a tweet. X helpfully refuses to serve it to me since I refuse to create an account. Fine by me, I didn't want any of that hot garbage anyway.

When you said “oh no” I heard that “oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no no” song.
Will not miss TikTok.

You can shit on it all you want. I used to before I tried it years ago during Covid.
I love it now and yeah my productivity and attention span has gone down probably but I would have just watched youtube or insta reels either way.
You can’t understand it from seeing other peoples pages or clips online. I follow alot of science pages, movie discussions, funny cats, people helping their community. I promise it’s not all just girls dancing.

"but reddit is better" mentality is crazy
There's alot of censorship on here and on YouTube.
Google and reddit are selling out your data just as much as meta, x, and TikTok.
The US just wants a piece of that data before it goes to china so it threatens TikTok to sell to a us company every year

Mann I hope you don’t have kids. All the literature, math, science, cooking videos, communities they would have missed out on… it’s just like a gen X parent banning Reddit because they don’t understand it. Really glad my parents trusted me and decided not to censor anything. Too bad they’re banning it but luckily other apps will fall into place.

The point is censorship, not just your preference .

You do realize that this sets a dangerous precedent regarding censorship of information, right? This is not something to celebrate

How do you read news articles? Half of them reference at least one tweet these days.
