Unfortunately the alternatives aren't much better. Bluesky now does the same BS where they demand an account if you just want to read replies to a tweet or whatever they call that at bluesky. And there is no bskycancel.com yet.
A bigger problem with BS is the rabid and - to use a phrase often used by them - toxic user base which seems to derive energy from pouring its frenzied opinions on whatever Trump, Musk and those in their general surroundings are supposed to be guilty of. If there was ever a case of the pot telling the kettle it is black it is the b.s. pouring out of a substantial fraction of the denizens of BS who have turned the pla…
You are correct - modern society is disgustingly intolerant of child pornography and dictatorships.
Child pornography and dictatorships are good, and there should be more of it.

#63I see that many of you still call it twitter. I get if it's a protest, but current X seems very unlike twitter, so I don't understand why it should be called by that name.
X is just a really weird name. It's not natural to say "someone posted this on X" to me, and we had like a decade of Twitter and talking about it.

The term "X" is already in common usage: primarily as a letter. If I said "I saw on X" out loud, most people would have no idea what I was talking about; "They saw on _a letter_?"; "Are they saying some kind of algebra?"; "Did they forget where they saw it and X is a placeholder?"; etc.
You could disambiguate by saying "X Dot Com", but that's longer and more awkward to say than Twitter.
Essentially, "X" as a name for Twitter is a confusing, poorly-forced meme that most folks don't care to entertain.

All social media is flaming garbage. And before the “I’m very smart” types come, HN is not social media. It is a forum.

Why would I call Twitter something else?

Don't look at the "For you" curated feed. If you only look at the "Following" feed and you follow sane, smart people, then your experience on X will be much better.
