Should every government department follow Derbyshire police and withdraw from using twitter ?

Is it now just a private cesspit

It's always been a cesspit, like any social media

I simply don't get bothered by it, like a fucking adult

It certainly appears to have become more toxic and posts I have no interest in started popping up no matter how much blocking etc I tried doing.

Eventually I gave up and deleted my account. Going off what I’ve read a lot of users have done the same.

X is great, I'd certainly trust its information more than Derbyshire Police or other platforms like BlueHair.

I don’t think they should go… I think you will have it across different sites because x has managed to fracture Their base

For example… I don’t use x much anymore but I am having a social media blast on Bluesky

os that because its better than twitter or is just full of people who all agree with each other if the 2nd that does seem a bit like an echo chamber, isnt it better to be exposed to all sorts of views, personaly here and you tube is about the only things i use, twatter has never really appealed to me and im guessing bluesky is the same sort of platform

I still use X for what I originally created an account for; sports news. Since it came from twitter, it's barely changed in that respect...

The algorithm changes though have just made it more trivial and reminds me that all Internet sources must be limited to real life interactions

I think the important thing to remember is that's it's a very small and mostly unrepresentative look at life

Most people in real life aren't like they are online

If you don't like something, don't use it. It's bafflingly simple

Stop getting your knickers in a twist

Lot less accounts being banned since Musk bought it, lot less censorship, far more free speech. If you don’t like what someone has to say you’re free to block them rather than feigning outrage and offence.

A direct quote from Musk on his hate speech platform

"You have finger guns, we have real guns"

What is that ?

The ability to buy a blue tick has allowed some fans of every sport to monetise controversial opinions. I say Harry Kane shouldn't captain England again because he's gone to Munich and turned them into Spurs (stopped them winning trophies) - England, Bayern and Spurs fans react and drive engagement.

I don't know a single person who uses it anymore. I'm assuming that it's much worse value for public bodies to use it, now that its reach has deteriorated

No need to get personal. I'm only asking questions.

Are you saying some fascists use X but it's not solely for them?
