Take a break from Twitter

  • If you use the Tor Browser or the Mullvad Browser you will see the popup of NoScript - because your identity at X can be open to other websites in your web browser. Keep your privacy in mind.

  • You may leave traces without realizing it. The way you write, what you read about and how much, when you are active, etc. Remember, if you are a Monero XMR user, you may not want this at all!

  • Mental hygiene; it feels good not to be at the mercy of the posts there for a while. Try it out!

  • It usually takes up a lot of your time without you doing anything productive.

  • Elon Musk himself is a major disinformation disseminator on his own platform. But many of the posts there are also questionable.

  • X Using Your Tweets to Train Its AI. And even if you have deactivated the artificial intelligence option, the users you interact with probably haven’t deactivated it. Because it was introduced without notifying the users.

    Or people can be adults who make their own decisions to use any website they want, including being on x.com everyday if that’s what a person chooses to do.

        No, not when you are selective of what you say for the purpose of influencing any person’s decision over to your preference or bias.

      Yes people have the right to make shitty decisions. I’m sure you wouldn’t disagree that people should also have the right to know how their decisions affect them so they can avoid making shitty decisions if they so choose, right?

        Your question is disengenuous and is driven by abiased agenda, not objective observance.

          My question may have been rhetorical, but not disingenuous. I firmly and honestly believe people should have access to information to help them make choices. If you care about objectivity then you should provide some hard evidence to prove your point instead of just telling people they are wrong. Feel fee to try proving what kind of “agenda” I could have by beleiving in free access to information while you’re at it.
