Don't drive a car and thus never get a flat. Problem solved.
"Why keep using a rusted old car for which the manufacturer will not service it and has not spare parts for when there are better cars out there." Fixed that for you. Have been using BlueSky for the past few months. Has been great.

Hi, could you do me a favour and point out which of the following count as conservative (or more recently, centrist) view points, to you? > The paid accounts posting the content all consistently posted antisemitic or pro-Nazi material. Examples included praise of Nazi soldiers, sharing of Nazi symbols and denials of the Holocaust. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/x-twitter-elon-mus... The facts are still the…

You won't get messages from Elon, but you will sure get a lot of messages about Elon since he lives rent free in so many people's mind.
If you have to fight this much to use a platform...why bother?
the network effect is still strong. it feels like a huge chunk of (recent/real-time) tech/design discussion happens there. but could be just me. i'm still warming up on bluesky/threads.
