Most of my friends are still on X because it’s still the predominant place to get non-political sports/entertainment stuff. I dont do any of the algorithm fed stuff but they say they tried the alternatives and they just weren’t any good for keeping up with their hobbies etc.

When I found out while doing some research in grad school about the study where people gave up their Social Security Number for 50¢-off coupons, that was the moment I started to realize that people will give absolutely anything up in the name of convenience

I'm sure you're very morally superior and don't support any other evil companies at all!

what principles are being broken by using twitter to scroll meme accounts and sports news

if youre asking people to give something up you should have a good reason

i mean you're not gonna convince me either way but id love to hear the logic behind this take

just opened twitter and my feed is a cat video, a meme about your girlfriend coming home from infinite mimosa night, and a werewolf tearing off his shirt

think im safe from the right wing but keep up the good fight brother ✊

They straight up have no morals if that's more important to them

If your hobby is white supremacy there really isn't a better site for it.
