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.

My husband stayed on there. Luckily, it's just for the porn.

So like, lots of trans stuff? (joking~sortof~)

[-] python@programming.dev 27 points 4 months ago

I freaking wish! Then at least I'd have someone to fawn over F1nnster with :(

[-] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 10 points 4 months ago

F1nnster the W1nnster

[-] kobra@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Sounds like he gets off on giving Elon traffic, gross.

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just use it for the porn. Occasionally will click on a trending tweet and immediately get bombarded with tons of Russian propaganda. "Ukraine are Nazis" "America first!" "Look at this poor starving (white) american child, Biden just approved 60 billion to Ukraine!"

All shit like that, it focuses very strongly on what Russia wants Americans to believe, in my experience.

[-] kobra@lemm.ee 33 points 4 months ago

It’s wild to me that so many people trust Elon with their porn viewing habits 👀

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Gross

Not the pron of course

There's no value otherwise

Don't forget endless AI generated images that morons just eat up

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

You know you can just... stop visiting all social media sites right? Its not easy but its very doable. Ive mostly done it (significantly reduced to almost nothing).

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 36 points 4 months ago

We are on social media right now?

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 months ago

Yeah, but lemmy is awesome

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 19 points 4 months ago

I'm on Mbin, but I don't disagree with you: Lemmy is awesome!

[-] ChaoticCookie@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago
[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 8 points 4 months ago

Again, I have to agree.

You can, but you'd be wrong.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I said I reduced mine, not eliminated.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 4 months ago

Fair enough. Fediverse is just better anyways IMO, barely counts as social media lol

[-] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Lemmy isn’t social media. If you’re defining forums as social media then literally and comment section on any website, including blogs and news sites somehow become social media. I don’t know how people started thinking forums are social media but it’s just plain incorrect.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

Forums and comments sections are 100% social media, you are mistaken there. I guess we'll just have to argue back and forth ad nauseam or something

I'm just here on lemmy. I've been lurking reddit just to see more breaking news but that will stop come novemeber.

[-] Primer81@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

Why November? Is something happening?

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Finally, the End of all things.

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.

[-] HatchetHaro 21 points 4 months ago

funnily enough, my twitter feed doesn't have any conservative media.

it is full of gay bara scalie porn, though.

I recently had to login in to update to a new 2FA app and oh my was it a wasteland. No one I had followed was still on it. And I mean that after scrolling for 5 minutes. It was just terrible.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 6 points 4 months ago

I mean, if they left it, possibly went to Mastodon, that sounds wonderful to me:-).

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

It’s not perfect, but Mastidon is starting to pass the tipping point for content.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

That's the neat part, I'm not.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I like to clown on nazis

Especially when they're shitting bricks in the reply section of a post from either Mark Hamill or Stephen King

Edit: We need a collab

[-] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

I follow scientists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc and get tweets with the latest covid research. I also see a lot of stuff from Gaza and a few things about movies. I'm moving off there but while some people are only on there and giving me information, I'll keep going back.

[-] kobra@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

Be the change you want to see. Those people will never leave the platform as long as people like you still engage with them there.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Not on Twitter but lol, what a leading question

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Allright knuckleheads, here's what you do:

  1. Follow people who's content you're interested in

  2. Browse Following and not For You

  3. 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

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

This is just a lie. Have him muted and never see his tweets.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Not a lie, it's how I remember it working (and complained about at the time) but it's entirely possible they changed things since I deleted.

I installed a extension to block everyone with a checkmark after Elon introduced paying for them. My feed has even less shitters then before its amazing. If I ever want to add more I just go to any AOC tweet and let the extension work.

[-] MangoPenguin 8 points 4 months ago

I don't see any of it really, my feed is all gay stuff lol

[-] brey1013@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Not all humans live in America. It is possible for people to use Twitter without seeing material related to your country's political shituation.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

They would need to be force feeding me conservative content in order for me to be able to answer the question. They're not and never have been. Same applies to ads.

[-] Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I tell some people to KYS just so the website forces me into a ban for 6 days.

Its nice.

edit: The people I say this to are genuinely scum of the earth. Pedos, People that share animal abuse vids, and people that disrespect the current situation surrounding school shootings.

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You mean you tell them to KYS right?
