That was pretty much my first thought... what kind of people are you following, if you see a lot of this kind of thing. I mostly use the "Following" tab now, as it's just more tuned to what I want to see and who I follow, even if it is political. I also feel there are a lot of chaos operatives on the platform that are spewing garbage and these are likely foreign state actors as much as trolls. Which comes back to who you follow. I am perfectly fine as long as I can block individuals I don't like... I don't necessarily want the platform to do it for me.

    I am an adult and can manage my own needs and expectations. The platform offers the adjustments that I would expect to be able to do that. I don't wear a diaper or have the govt wipe my rear either.

      Okay, use X then, I don’t understand your problem here. The rest of us are going to choose platforms where we don’t have to be neighborly with phrenology enthusiasts. The internet has something for everybody, just pick the social media you are happy with.

        I'm not the one trying to censor public discourse or jail people that allow for public discourse that the people in govt don't like. It's a slope that's repeatedly been slipped on through history. If you have a platform you like, use it. As long as I have a block button that I can choose to use, I'm okay. If you think Twitter/X is bad, you should splunk around Telegram sometime. In any case, I can choose who to associate with. I don't want the government to tell me I can't, it isn't right. I don't like flag burning either, but would rather not have that outlawed either. Repressive regimes can come from many directions... best to resist them all.
