Of all the social media sites, the one I’ve stuck with throughout hasn’t changed its MO since day one. You can choose to follow contributors or not, has a wide and diverse search option if you’re after something you don’t normally see, and its algorithm actually shows stuff based on what I like. It’s mint, and I’ll be devastated if X-Hamster ever changes. this place is my social media platform of choice tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44559 Posted yesterday at 21:25 Share Posted yesterday at 21:25 Aye. You can't win the argument on twitter. The algorithm sees to that. You can stay if you like it there, but realistically you're just gonna have a really shit time. You're certainly not gonna change any minds.

I'm trying not to bother with it that much - saw Gaetz as it's a pretty big headline. The bloke was being investigated for paying girls for underage sex, and now he's attorney general. And this cunt will absolutely go after Trump's political opponents legally, if Trump decides to follow through on that. His wife is called ginger lucky. I wonder where she stripped before she found Jesus and became a beard for a kiddy fiddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I absolutely detest Elon Musk. Forget Trump, Musk is rapidly becoming the danger. Apparently buying Twitter has paid off for him in all this as its made him the most powerful unelected bureaucrat in the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44559 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Seen it mentioned elsewhere, and it's a good point: it's a really good thing that he's opted to appoint incompetent wingnuts and fruitloops. The worst case scenario was him appointing competent true believers, but he's gone straight for the arse-kissing grifters, and it's gonna be a shit show.
