X is talking to you. Indirectly. Depending on what you do, you get corresponding content shoved in your face. The system communicates with you by selecting fitting tweets and showing them to you. An example: I deliberately blocked videos on X at the DNS level. So I blocked video.twimg.com. Videos no longer play, but I still get tweets that theoretically contain videos. Suddenly I get this here in Korean:>I am grateful to be able to see something like this.Coincidence? No. Nothing in the feed is coincidence. The system is trying to lure me back with curiosity and horniness.

>>109862031X is not a neutral tool. X is an adversary. The system operates functionally like an intentional actor: It has goals, it models you, it tests you, it reacts to you. It tries to control you.
>>109862031>using twitterLiterally just stop using it.>>109862083There will probably never be viable alternatives, because none of those places will be able to get enough users. Instead of using Twitter, or a Twitter clone, just don't. It isn't like it is required to live, or that anything important happens there. Is your life better because of Twitter?
>>109862095I remember one of my friends saying "I LOVE INSTAGRAM REELS" and god did I try hard to suppress my cringe.>God I love a private self-interested corporation making money off of my attention to an endless stream of numb and dumb slop!I can't tell you how much I hate phonefags. Every fucking person is addicted to their iPacifier. I'm certain that constant escapism is why making friends is ever more difficult.
