A non -technological way to give negative feedback to Twitter/X is to stop using it, even "just reading an occasional post". Continuing to read things on it, even through Nitter, is in the interests of Twitter/X and of the people who continue to support Twitter/X by posting there. Tell the people who use it no. The decent people won't hear them on Twitter/X, and the decent people will wonder what's wrong with them if…

Could you point to a resource that explains (concisely if possible) why twitter shouldn’t be used unlike other social media platforms?

Is it because it is controlled now by a different branch of the powers that be? (different branch — same tree).

I think it being controlled by that different branch is part of it, but that includes the undesirable attributes of that different branch, and I don't think we need to go into the details of those attributes lol

No, sorry. Political activists do not get to decide for everyone else what words mean.

Everyone gets to decide what words mean. But anarchism has lots and lots of history of scholarship, debate, and discussion. Kropotkin was writing about this in the 1800s, and we've had well over a century of defining and shaping the definitions. The parent poster isn't inventing anything or deciding anything. They're just sharing what the common understandings are.

> The parent poster isn't inventing anything or deciding anything.

Stating something authoritatively is, in fact, "deciding" it for others.

> They're just sharing what the common understandings are.

No, it is not at all the common understanding. When I put "anarchy" into a search engine, the first thing I see is "Absence of any form of political authority.", because that is the common understanding. Forming an "-ism" around that is commonly understood to follow the usual patterns.

Perhaps people who apply the label to themselves wish to see things that way, but they are (thankfully) a small minority of people.

I don't give a damn about the justification, because there's clearly no good reason to care, as it clearly serves a dishonest and dangerous political purpose, viz: attempting to delegitimize the state in order to seize power.

None of the instances listed have anything like that going on. I believe that all listed instances use either https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/ , https://anubis.techaro.lol/ , https://git.miningtcup.me/MiningTcup/dogwaf (made by me), or nothing at all. I recommend against using instances not listed unless you know the host because there are reasons for them to not be listed. I won't elaborate on the reas…

Yes, I entered via nittr.tr, chose one of the instances, got a robot turnstile. I was on a Windows computer where I didn't care and clicked the turnstile. It was a fake turnstile that redirected to exploit URLs of rough form 1212-12w31762.spammy-url.lol/10919023w71238123ww8128z1287z18178-12w1287wz62178612873ww682183w12. The browser blocked them. I don't remember which instance it was. Another instance had a completel…

I can assure you that was not an instance on the list.

Many people regard Elon as a hero or villain. I regard him as a tragedy: A great entrepreneur who wrecked his sanity due to drugs, genetics, and/or overwork.

It's not him who's wrecked. It's just some poor souls who cant't stand how right he is while he expresses that with autistic crudeness. Musk is the same guy he was 10 years ago, still working his ass off on visionary projects, beating rest of the world on those fronts. And we love him for that!

  > cant't stand how right he is
That's.... convenient. No need to interrogate the stated reasons why someone you admire is not universally and uncritically beloved. I'll just ignore the reasons they themselves repeatedly give and instead assume they actually hate how correct he is about everything. Despite the things he was famously wrong about like COVID cases in 2020 going to 0 in a matter of weeks.

Literally every single UK government entity, town/city council, every public transport company, etc. They all use it sadly.

Any specific examples where twitter was the only way?

A good example would be Supertram - the Sheffield tram service. It's only ever provided service disruption notices on twitter. The stations have digital signs which they installed years ago and have always been completely flawed in that they cant actually update them remotely, nor can they say if a tram is running late. They just play a fixed playlist on a loop.

So. Easy to get into is: "some unspecified mid-tier trackers may or may not give out accounts to some unspecified seedbox providers". It's probably easier to lurk in r/trackerinvites (or whatever it's called) hoping to snatch an invite

> It's probably easier to lurk in r/trackerinvites (or whatever it's called) hoping to snatch an invite I think it's much easier to pay 12 bucks for a month of seedbox that includes an invite to TL, than to hit F5 on /r/OpenSignups for months/years until they open registration.

> I think it's much easier to pay 12 bucks for a month of seedbox that includes an invite to TL

Yes, it's probably easier. My quick search revealed no such seedboxes.
