On topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.

No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes.

Sometimes I have to wonder, what's it going to take to make people leave X?

I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, 4 years ago, and it's gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.

It's not just twitter, this software is also used by airbnb, linkedin, and paypal.

Paypal is pretty much the ground zero of evil in the world.

Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.

It's a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.

Sometimes I wonder what it will take to get people using the web less.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Getting them addicted to something more addictive, like meth.

You can't make this stuff up.

A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And -- what?!? -- they're using said data inappropriately?

Real people are still on X? I thought it was mainly bots and twats now

Even on Lemmy people think Wikipedia isn't shit.
It can't be trusted.
