It’s been this way for a couple of months. X is completely useless. One of the best products ever built. Before it was censorship of right wing voices that threatened it. Musk really did save it. But now the censorship is way worse - anything that is not about Minneapolis is buried. The network effect has been gutted. The worst product team fuckup I’ve seen in a long time.

I think it just gives the people what they want because now you brought Minneapolis to my feed without the algorithm 😅
I'm a big fan of nostr, but you can also just select the Following feed and organize it chronologically. Otherwise that experience choice is on you...

what would a best algo for nostr work? a locally running LLM records your likes and shows stuff based on your likes?
I lurk on #X to the extent that some things still exclusively occur there, but it's more of an information warfare platform than a town square, and that really hurts the appeal. #Nostr will always be the only real town square in the same way that #Bitcoin will always be the only real money. The temptation to exert control of purchasing power and social consensus is too great for any actor to resist, even the "good guys". View quoted note →

Thanks for the Info. I deleted X today..
Twitter used to be a great place. Used it since 2009 with great pleasure. Then Elon Musk bought it and aired an irky interview with the orange fascist. That was the moment I deleted my account.
Incredible product—managed to censor itself without even trying😅

Maybe it will have a rebirth 🐦‍🔥 at some point not too long from now, maybe it won't.
Two people have been killed by ice agents. One was yesterday. The national guard has been called in to give out coffee and donuts.
