Ever since Musk took over, that platform has been showing me terrible things. I see racism, Trump supporters, fights that are old videos, and today I saw a video of someone trying to kill a crab and missing its brain, so they cut it in half but it was still alive and suffering. And there is so much racism. I noticed that I went into A. Fib and couldnt get out of it. I stopped using the site for a while for other reasons and then I felt normal again. I dont know if there was a causal link. But I felt better overall. However, the site is like cake to a fat kid. I know it is bad for me, but telling off bigots gives me an endorphin rush. Not this is just my story, I am not suggesting that it this way for everyone. I just no, it hurts me when I want to get work done, school, work, or my writings. And just not good. And I think because I am talking with people I keep coming back. At work while I talk to people it just business. How can I help you today. This place is dying :( . So it like not many places to go. Maybe I can find a good Chat bot .

Unironically seek a therapist. They'll talk to you, and they'll help you kick your destructive addiction to that shit heap.

I saw the same video of that girl hacking the crab in half. That shit is unethical and fucked up. Respect the animals that sustain you.

I feel like lots of people don't respect slaughter animals, they just stuff their faces.

I just uninstalled it.

I will say though, since Elno took it over, the feed was definitely reprogrammed to show you more stuff designed to make you angry and rage tweet responses, and that **** is bad for you.

Twitter was the fun night spot everyone seemed to enjoy mingling...

X has become the deadbeat broken alley bar where ppl don't even want to consider their spare time anymore.

Musk is categorically not a genius.

I rarely (if ever) see political tweets, my twitter feed's stayed pretty clean thankfully. Probably just because I've always hypertuned it to exclusively show me funny fighting game clips, gaming news and fanart of queer characters.

What'll drive me out (assuming the stupid changes don't first) is the crypto/ai/finance podcast ads. Blocked so many of these accounts it's unreal

Can you believe it, in the not too distant past of up until the 1980s, the same was said of infants?
You would not boil a baby alive either, now would you?

Yes, youre using it differently. If you only go there for stuff you like then thats generally what itll show you. If you go there and constantly engage with things that make you angry it will keep showing you those things. TCs problem is entirely of his own making because hes an outrage junkie who uses twitter to pretend hes out there fighting to make the world a better place without actually having to do anything.

You boil them alive so you aren't made ill by the bacteria that multiplies in them once they are dead.

There's no dispute that they feel pain.

I've never used twitter. If I did, I'd stop doing so if it started showing me unsolicited acts of violence, cruelty, and racism.

Sounds like 14 year old Edgelord Musk, is making the twitter he would like to see.

I was on Twitter since its early days and for the first few years it was actually an amazing platform. There was some toxicity but you really had to go out of your way to see it. Everything started getting messy once people started widely adopting smartphones, and everything turned to shit around the lead-up to the 2016 election. It became a bona fide dumpster fire after Elon purchased the company.

Trust me when I say, that even before Musk took over, Twitter and social media in general was toxic to your mental health. It's worse now, but if it's really affecting you that badly it's time to cut it off.

It shows what you follow, sometimes what they follow, and sometimes stuff based on what you follow. If you dont follow any of that junk then it doesnt show up. All I ever see is sports and ladies.

You are lucky , Musk said point blank that we was changing the algorithm to make people see more bull shit that they did not want to see. People are just making this up.

No you kill them instantly with a cut to the heart and brain then you boil it immediately

You have to use social media if you want to remain politically-aware, though it's better to use a platform that's more safe than X or Faceook.

I largely just pay attention to the people I follow so I don't really drift outside of that sphere and be exposed to the terrible stuff all that much. If I see it, I just block. Once the people I follow fully move over to another platform I'll move as well... though if it becomes Bluesky that becomes a problem because it's not like I know anyone that can get me a referral while it is in its perpetual early access state, lol.

The promotion tweets are getting out of hand, though.

See that is what I use to see before the switch over, well not as much smut, but the art I like nice cute things like puppies and cartoons. lol And like some people where have asked what did I do to change it . I DON"T KNOW.
