X/Twitter [View all]

I’m not wishing to step on anyone’s free speech here. I just want to say that I’m astounded at the number of posts that feature X/Twitter links. It makes me upset given the outrageous times we are living in. I look at how the Canadian people have pulled together, canceling vacations (some at a very hefty expense), going without certain products, and making do. Here, we can’t even stay off X, not even on DU of all places!!!
How do you all feel about this?

The links are mostly of the antics of animals and they are on the Lounge. question everything Mar 2025 #3

Yes, that issue was taken care of this morning. sheshe2 Mar 2025 #8

I read twitter. sheshe2 Mar 2025 #11

That's specious. No, you're not. But he is. Scrivener7 Mar 2025 #29

On X we can see news as it's happening womanofthehills Mar 2025 #24

Everyone has a phone & people post in real time on Twitter for instant news womanofthehills Mar 2025 #14

When material is available on both Xitter and Blue Sky Bavorskoami Mar 2025 #18

The twits open directly. With Blue Sky one has to go there. question everything Mar 2025 #19

You can post a snaphot of a tweet that doesn't directly open, like this: Celerity Mar 2025 #46

And protesters are going to Tesla DaBronx Mar 2025 #38

Ok DaBronx Mar 2025 #20

To imply people here are Musk supporters simply because they disagree w/ you & your board policing is outrageous. Celerity Mar 2025 #34

Outrageous? DaBronx Mar 2025 #35

Of course it is an outrageous false smear. Just because a person posts X here or posts on X doesn't make them pro Musk. Celerity Mar 2025 #40

You are making a lot of assumptions DaBronx Mar 2025 #41

I am not 'making assumptions'. I am simply effectively using your own words against you in my pushback. Celerity Mar 2025 #43

We can agree to disagree DaBronx Mar 2025 #45

I'm with you. LudwigPastorius Mar 2025 #23

Twitter is about who you follow womanofthehills Mar 2025 #25

If you have an account and are active on it at all, you help Musk sell advertising and make money. LudwigPastorius Mar 2025 #27

I appreciate you. DaBronx Mar 2025 #36

Following people? DaBronx Mar 2025 #39

Can't I burden X's resources by viewing posts? Frasier Balzov Mar 2025 #26

Wow. These replies are so disturbing. The guy is a Nazi and he's dismantling our democracy, Scrivener7 Mar 2025 #31

The defense of X is astounding DaBronx Mar 2025 #37

Right now direct links are only visible to logged in bluesky users. LetMyPeopleVote Mar 2025 #32

I put the people who regularly post X links on ignore. demmiblue Mar 2025 #42
