I just created a new account on X to see what it looks like nowadays. It was shocking to see that of the top 100 trending tweets on a fresh account that doesn’t follow anyone, at least 10 were people showing off how much they hate other people.
I’m not exaggerating. It’s a platform that thrives on hate, with maybe some useful information in between.

- spiderfarmer 1y agoI already deleted the account. I'm doing fine without X.
- Zababa 1y agoYeah it is genuinely terrible and getting worse. It's kinda fine if you have your own little bubble and can adapt to frequent algo changes and only use the "following" tab, but then you miss on sometimes pretty good recommendations. I used to tell people to get on there to have the latest AI news by a few good accounts, I don't anymore, I don't want to expose them to all of that hate.
- spiderfarmer 1y agoYou can get the latest AI news everywhere. I don't think I'm missing out not being on X.
