video calls

The idea I would have to put clothes on to use Twitter is disorienting.

Any more than using it in the first place?

tbh it’s not that bad for me. Between using a private account, having my feeds tuned, and using autoblockers for magats and crypto shills, I don’t get ads or much of the crazy and/or aggravating shit. I have a feed mostly of art, photography, nature, history, generally interesting stuff and cute animals. If I want politics, I have a list for that.

Yeah but why work so hard to curate something good on a platform that is painfully obvious in its attempts to sabotage open communication and foment a far right message?

It was already curated pre-Musk, and idgaf about whether or not you or anyone else on this platform has an issue with me still using it to keep up with positive things in spite of him. Lemmy is ok, possibly even fine, but it actually is severely lacking in certain kinds of content, while also having it’s share of negative assholes with their own negative asshole messages.
