Super easy fix, barely an inconvenience. Don't fucking use Twitter.

If you have the choice between Firefox and Xitter and are conflicted... What are you even doing with your life??

[–] [email protected] 32 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yea I have a bunch of anti tracking shit on Firefox mobile and desktop and it breaks so many normie sites. If it breaks the site, move on. Fuck em.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 20 hours ago

That means it's working.

x (formerly twitter)... you mean twitter (desperately x)

even elon calls it twitter dude why are people still pretending they have to honor a rebrand of a company by a dipshit who deadnames and misgenders his own kid.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

just call it xitter (pronounced shitter) as that is what it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

nah, i realize it's popular around here but it still acknowledges the rebrand. I just don't want to.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I’m sticking with “Twitter (currently known as X)”.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

it's not though. only musk glazers make an effort to call it x. everyone either says twitter or does something with parentheses. if it were currently known as x people would've stopped mentioning both names. it's been more than a year now. complete failure of a rebrand IMO.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 22 hours ago

Firefox isn't causing issues. X is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

If you're using Twitter, fuck you.

I don't care why you're still on some fascist manchild's propaganda box. Leave. You're already here - you know alternatives exist. Stop visiting the Nazi bar.

I deleted that dumpster fire the minute old Space Karen bought it. I wasn't tweeting but I used it to read some people. But I'm ok to give that up to never ever support what fuckface does.

Perfect for when you accidentally click on one of their embedded posts. Hurray!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a plugin that disables that trash.

Privacy badger does this.

Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I use this as well. Works great for me at least.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what plug-in they are talking about, but personally I just disabled the site using ublock origin.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

I use UBo. I'll have to set that.

Sorry but i imagined something different when i read "enchanted tracking protection"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

For this enchantment, put your electronic device on the Anvil and...

If you're still on Twitter/X, you might as well join Truth Social.

If you want to see a post for some reason, use nitter! My fav instance is xcancel.com

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Holy crap, is it still working?

I thought nitter died...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Xcancel is using multiple accounts to scrap the data,so you can say it's nitter but it's modified to show data from those accounts.

It's known to cause issues, such as costing us money instead of making us money, and making your browsing experience slightly more tolerable in this dump

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

This is insane lol

I cringe so hard when they write "let's". Let's never meet again

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm a little confused, that's pretty typical usage of the word. Or is it because it comes across a little pretentious? As though they're just trying to cooperate with you to more easily violate your privacy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you but almost every major corporation has a person whose entire job is to translate corporate copy into easy-to-parse, casual, friendly "conversation," because they do want you to think of the brand as your trusted friend. They're trying to manipulate us at every level, every interaction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Well of course I know him, he's me (not anymore thankfully, but I have had to write that kind of copy before)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

reloads, cocks gun Yeah, let's give it another shot!
