I understand the partisan juxtaposition of "X" and Moxie Marlinspike, and the partisan appeal of commenting on it, but to me it is a tangential annoyance.
- silisili 1mo agoI usually agree, but X has been pretty terrible as a medium. Not sure how OP meant it, obviously. I'd created an account a year or so ago just to be able to view posts that pop up here. 3 months later I was banned for inauthentic activity, whatever that means. I googled and apparently that happened to a huge swath of people this year. That was fine, I could still read posts. But now it gates me on wanting my biometrics for verification. Now clicking any link, including the above, asks me to submit biometrics. Assuming I'm not the unluckiest human alive, this feels like a terrible way to share content.
