Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

Man, musk really fucking hates his daughter

I just realized I had no clue what her assigned gender was. Probably says something about the media I consume.

Don't worry, it's completely acceptable that you neither know about nor care about a billionaire's daughter.

Nobody defies the musky chodelet!

You know how when you think of something so pungent you can kinda smell it? Well, I just smelled your comment.

Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Downvote Musk spam.

The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

The film purports to feature young people who sought gender affirming care, but now regret doing so.

This isn't anti-trans

Consider the source

Out of context, on its own, it wouldn't be. But if you look at who is pushing it, that changes the picture.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Despite pushback from some users

Well there's your problem. You're still using the fascist platform.

Any active user who "pushes back" in an attempt to "fix" the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There's no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.

Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he's turned out to be.

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We've got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.

Cats?? On the internet?!

You are the hero we need! ❤️

Can we please just stop talking about the clown in command, and his dogshit bigoted platform?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And how is this even about technology anymore?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Seriously though, are there any better tech communities here?

Twitter already sucked in its own ways, but X-formerly-known-as-twitter is so utter shit I have a hard time imagining people browsing and enjoying it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

X-formerly-known-as-twitter

I've also heard people call it "Twitter, desperately trying to be known as X".
