I understand you can still tailor a good experience, but if you create a fresh X account the density of Elon Musk posts is genuinely absurd. There's no way he isn't putting his thumb on the algorithm to boost his reach. Also the density of pure hate & ragebait by mask-off fascist accounts! It shocks me how much of that I saw unprompted right away after making a new account recently.

Weird, we must have very different definitions of "fascists".

I'm not talking about conservatives.

I mean I went from fresh account to unprompted groypers posting hitler hype edits and white nationalists posting happy merchant memes about the great replacement.

This is uniquely an X thing. It wasn't like this when I used twitter, and it isn't like that on any other socials I know.

Apparently incorrect. Many comments right on this page have mentioned several automatic redirect services, sites, libraries, extensions and apps, any one of which does it all for you, just automatically redirect to a random working instance. And there are always many because apparently it's easy to just run one yourself and not even need anyone else's. It seems there is simply no such problem.

All of the comments on this page serve to expose things that were surviving by flying under the radar. It's delusional to pretend like they're somehow bulletproof when their survival has been due to being infinitesimal in size, and has lasted all of a week. If some stable service gets put up in Russia, China, Iran, or some other country that will throw up some obstacle to Musk, post it everywhere. Anna's Archive has…

One imagines when one puts up a publicly accessible mirror and adds it to the plugin's public mirror list, that they're cool with the public actually, yunno, using it.

Username certainly does check out.

Stop using Twitter. Get on Mastodon.

Mastodon is an utter mess. Between that and censorship, we will just stay on X.

As much as I dislike many of the users on X, I really appreciate that it feels like one of the last uncensored social media platforms on the internet. Reddit is handing out permanent AI bans now for any and no reason at all. It's full of people using words like "unalived" now to avoid an automatic ban. The other platforms are no better. If free speech means accepting the speech of people I disagree with, I gladly make that bargain.

No villages were razed. Your argument is invalid.

Sadly, curated public ones are also harder and harder to find (for obvious reasons) :(

Rutracker's a good one.

It's amazing how it held up over 20-ish years. You'd think it would only get worse after removing mandatory registration 10 or so years ago. And yet...

Not only refugee camps. Some of the sites on the codeberg list literally spread malware.

People here didn't even look at them but, as you say, just declared victory.

Thanks for some rational thoughts. Unfortunately you are discussing with idiots who barely manage first order thinking.
