Kuron thinks he may be deleting all social media after reading that. And Mastodon is sold as a safe alternative.

Apparently threads has had an option to see who you follow as your feed for a while. Click on the threads icon and you'll see two options... for you and following.

I do like how threads displays pictures and the feed feels more responsive, but I've found I've been living in masterdon more (after FB) due to that's where most twitter people are now.

Tweetdeck is now "Blue/Pro" only.
The final nail in the blue bird's coffin.

£100 a year to use Bold and Italic?! A bargain.

Fuck, I could be making a fortune, here, with all this BBCode!

I noticed a tweet where in stead of a video or image. A add was shown by twitter. Saying me to get a blue subscription.

Not sure if Images and videos are now going to be locked behind the subscription.

Seriously? I believe you Pakz 100%! Addressing the seriously, as in Seriously Musk, this is your new move?

Cohost
Mastodon
Blue Sky
GETTR
GAB

And whatever the social stuff is at Vivaldi as well as a blog there.

Musk has supposedly got rid of all of the Twitter branding, but every time I click on an image on X, I get the damn blue bird fav icon, instead of an X. Looks extremely half-assed when things aren't consistent.

Musk said X is moving to a subscriber only use. No more free accounts.

When he is finished reading the many reactions. He might change his mind.

Youtube has been getting a lot worse too. The advertisements have been getting a lot more frequent. Listening to music has gotten impossible at this time.

There are alternatives to youtube on android, they just load up content, they dont bother with ads and will even play when the screen is off.

S-tube is the only youtube alternative I know of, but that's more geared for TV boxes than touch screens.

Youtube adverts is the reason I reduced the Tubeage section of the newsletter*

I don't mind the odd advert, but there's TOO MANY adverts.
By which I mean, if you counted Ad-vs-content, they'd be WAY over the OFCOM limit, and I sure as hell hope that OFCOM can find a way to step in at some point.

I still use it as-is, and it's a fucking shit-show of bombardments.
I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't for the same fucking adverts always repeating, every couple of minutes.
That's easily the most annoying thing about it. And they're "normal" adverts, nowadays, too.
Used to be that YouTube adverts were original and unique and unusual. Now it's the same fucking adverts you see on TV.

Gawd..
