Anyone here also on Twitter (X)?

[Ed]

Just wondering. I’ve been thinking about trying out a promotion technique on X to bring more people here but I would need a band of trust helpers to achieve it.

Binned twitter a year or two back, not a big fan of fascism. Most decent people seem to have quit, I’d avoid personally.

I am on bluesky and threads and can dig out user names if necessary, I don’t go on much, I got out of the habit of using twitter before I binned it.

I’m completely confused by this. First, I only see posts by people I follow. I don’t follow fascists, so I don’t see fascist posts (or much else extreme left wing stuff). There’s a lovely nudist community on there and a lot of people here found this site via Twitter. Just don’t follow fascists and you should be good. The same goes for Facebook.

I tried Bluesky – it was terrible. I think I deleted my account after a few days. I don’t know what “threads” is? Is that any good? Twitter is the only social media I still use. Facebook is an unworkable mess and full of hate and racism, and seems to have zero tolerance to nudity. I can’t seem to work out how to stop it showing irrelevant posts from people I don’t follow.  I used Minds for a while, but that seems to be dead.

I’d been gradually losing interest in Twitter for a while and, when it became X, I decided to move on. I’d have left at some point in any case. I make less and less use of social media. Facebook is still ok for hearing about local events but pretty useless for keeping in touch with past real-life friends. The only reliable way to find their posts is to search for them, which would take ages if I wanted to see them all, so I just focus on people I have no longer have any other contact with. If Facebook is our only point of contact, I stick with it. Instagram is better for that, but fewer of my real-life friends use it. I used to really like Pinterest but it started bombarding me with messages about random images breaking their terms and conditions, all of which I’d collected from other Pinterest pages, and none of which were in the slightest bit risqué. I saw some discussion forum threads about what was happening (not just to me) and the conclusion was that they’d started using AI moderation. I deleted my account and I’m still a bit sad about it. Not sure what I think about Reddit. It’s useful and seemingly uncensored, but users can be quite grumpy if they disagree with you or don’t see the point of a question you’ve asked.

I still use Twitter even though I don’t like how it’s a haven for misinformation and fascism under Elon Musk, but I think that grok is actually pretty objective because it says bad things about Elon Musk and contradicts his political positions that are not based in fact, although he’s working towards trying to change that. I don’t really use Twitter for anything kinky though, I save some kinky pictures from there but I don’t post anything like that on twitter.
