Twitter / X 12:09 - Aug 23 with 2444 viewstownblue

It's mega frustrating how much football (and other) news is still primarily on twitter.

I've deleted my account as it's become a bit of a cesspit and Elon Musk is an idiot, but feel I miss out on a lot of interesting transfer info until I get it second hand from somewhere else.

Obviously a lot of the stuff on there is still rubbish but I haven't really replaced it with anything similar as a one stop shop for current affairs.

Yes - I removed the app from my mobile devices for the same reason - the cesspit of society allowed to spout whatever hateful rhetoric they want. I sat there oine day thinking why am I letting someone I don't know wind me up and make me angry so I just deleted them.

Each to their own I know, and it is my personal reaction to the bile I read but I do now miss out on some of the more useful updates and news - but was worth it.

And I won't even get into my views on Musk.

Open a new account. Follow only football people and ignore the rest of it.

As someone still very much using X, one of the worst things since Elon's changes, is the amount of blue-tick/engagement farming you get now in reply to any prominent post. I like to browse replies to Town news for example, but there's a lot of scrolling through crap before you read anything sensible.

Good advice, although I'm amazed at the sheer quantity of porn on any popular posts.

This exactly. If you use the following section only it’s pretty much content you want. Avoid the comments section also and it’s a fairly decent app. Start scrolling on the “for you” section though and you’ll be succumed with the sorts of trolling crap some posts refer to. X is about how the user users it.

Doesn't really work like that anymore. I also don't like the idea of supporting the site in it's current form.

Everything about muskbook and everything on muskbook is both second hand and second rate.

And to be honest calling it second rate is generous.

Just using the site supports Musk. Doesn’t seem like he’s interested in making money from it, but the more it’s seen as a “vital” source of news, the more he gets reported on and can get whatever deranged message he wants out there.

None of these ITK shysters on Twitter know more than TWTD anyway. Feels like you are just trying to justify enabling that alien-looking, SEC fraud charged, edgelord.
