X is fine, hatred of it or equivocating about what was demonstrated in The Twitter Files does seem to say more about the media narratives one is predominately exposing oneself to, or one’s direct political leanings, more than reflect the reality for users on the platform. I mean, I get to read translated tweets from both Bibi and the Ayatollah, which is a depth of exposure I’d not see in MSM. I like that about X. I don’t think you get that kind of thing on Threads. You can choose who you follow and interact with on X, there’s no shortage of fascinating people and personalities, and ultimately you make it what you want. Some of the new features, like Community Notes, are appreciated. All else being equal, I prefer less government/NGO/employee censorship collusion, so that’s a big change compared to old Twitter. I like to see contrarian viewpoints. It also differentiates the platform from Facebook and YouTube. I realize some people think differently, and I guess that’s what Threads is for. But Twitter/X seems like a more vibrant place to me than it did before. There’s still no shortage of left-leaning shit posting and there’s probably more right-leaning shit posting than was allowed before. Tune out the noise. The idea that clearing the leftist and establishment filters has made the place an abandoned and barren hellscape is quite the opposite of reality, IME.
