X has become just a troll farm

I can still navigate to my curated feed of specific news sources, but only after I get past the conflict merchants of the “For You” feed it forces you to start in.

Hell, even my follows are drifting into more provocative framing. The platform is geared much more to “engagement” than just broadcasting.

I hate being manipulated, and I am sick and tired of this becoming how this country communicates.

Rant over.

I simply avoid X and all the others.

The good stuff is hidden by so much junk and outrage.

Besides, why do I want to hear from some tranny boy klan member in some random state. I don’t give a frick about their opinions and will never meet them. Posting to replies to such scum seems silly to me.

Welcome to Tigerdroppings' political talk board. Nothing like what you described ever happens here. This is the place for straight up talk by straight up people.

It’s sad so many don’t have good discernment and self discipline to control the app, not let it control them.

Hope your skill in that improves op

frick off.

I made it clear that I know how to navigate past it. Doesn’t change the manipulative nature.

You’re a perfect example of the bullshite I’m talking about.

And now this thread is already anchored. Second one for me in 12 hours.

WTF is up with the mods here lately?

Yes, there's much of that; I've unfollowed several lately, sirens and red lights the main culprit. I've cut my time there to a third of what it was, my main complaint being that influencers seem to be vying only for my anger. And yet anger is very clearly what is needed here to address the looming downfall of W civilization. But Im just weary of being pissed and v little being done to correct it - case in point SAA in Congress.

Maybe get better and stop blaming others

Or continue being the victim
