Absolute cesspit of an app
If you are a user of Twitter in 2026 you might benefit from a long walk.
No idea what there is to „Examine“ tbh, you just stop using it.
I run a public bodies social media and I simply told management last year that we aren’t getting any link clicks from X (with the data to prove it), so they allowed me to delete our account and focus on social media platforms where we do get link clicks.
There’s no reason for any Irish official organisation to be on X
What the fuck is to think about, the government should be banning this cesspools, not should I still be using it
Drop X
I deleted my account when Musk took over. Honestly, all Irish fov accounts should get off X already. Absurd to still be using it.
The amount of users they’re reaching via that app must be negligible these days to justify it anyway.
You don’t see public bodies rushing to set up Bebo and MySpace pages. All social media apps tend to run their course and this is the end of the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
Where is this sexualised content? Using twitter since 2015 never seen anything sexual there.
Do they mean Grok putting people in bikinis? It’s been disabled now
„Examine“ 🤣
Just do it or dont, talking about it is wasting time.
After Muskifiication of twitter I switched to threads, now even that app is unusable due to the constant propaganda, fake PR and Racism, I know freedom of speech is important but it should not interfere with someone’s freedom of life. At this point reddit is the only safe place, but donno how long.
Promotion of fascism and nazism is not enough?
Its a horrible app. This BS. „We will examine ending it“ is pure crap also. Just end it. Theyre clearly just saying it for PR and not wanting to jump before anyone else.
I remember when Musk bought twitter everyone was joking that he’d run it into the ground, I didn’t think it would actually turn out this bad though. It’s mad, because it used to be (for me at least) the best social media platform to actually engage with people about niche interests and have a nice little online community going until not that long ago.
After he bought it, it quickly just turned into the place I got most of my sports news from, then even quicker I had deleted my account when my feed had been completely overhauled
Not DCC, but in the same vein: I wish Irish Rail would stop using X to post train delays announcements. I know you can use proxies to view contents on X if you don’t have an account, but it’s still absurd they’re using a platform that not only demands having an account to be able to use it, but is also full of trash, to post announcements that should be available publicly. Wouldn’t it make more sense to display delays and other announcements in their own app?
JUST STOP USING IT!!
You have a website. Use that. Do what we did before twitter came along. I’ve never had a twitter account – have I missed out? No. Is anyone’s quality of life better because of twitter? No.
If they think Grok putting bikinis on people is bad, they might want to take a look at a few more ‚AI picture editing‘ sites out there.
Putting a girl in a bikini is timid compared to what else can, and has been done.
