    In what way did what Musk did with Twitter-now-X not work? He bought the platform with the intent to open up the window of allowed discourse to that allowed by the law instead of that demanded by the ideology of the platform owners. This mostly succeeded, the level of censorship on the platform has been radically reduced. You may not like the result because you happened to be ideologically aligned with the previous platform owners but that does not make it invalid, it just means the platform no longer shields you from those who walk different paths.

    Does this mean X is a good place to frequent? No, it does not, just like Twitter wasn't a good place to frequent. I only ever used Twitter passively and I only ever use X in the same way. I do not post and I have no interest in doing so, I do however like that X now allows different viewpoints. While I do not like the increased amount of spam, shitposts, crypto scams and other nuisances which came with the opening up of the platform I see this as a temporary problem which can be solved just like spam on email no longer is a problem - I have been self-hosting my mail since the early 90's and saw the rise of spam as well as its current defeat (which may be temporary due to the ascent of generative AI but that is another story for another time) on my own server.

    So, yes, X mostly works, at least for me. I only use it by following links in articles, I never use the site directly, only through a self-hosted Nitter [1] instance, I do not log in nor do I respond to anything. Maybe things are different for those who live on the platform but... maybe that is not a good thing to do anyway?

    Nitter worked by signing in with special "guest accounts" that I think were given to fresh downloads of the mobile apps.[0] Last year, X fully disabled that functionality, which left most Nitter instances broken. At that point, the developer publicly abandoned/ended the project.

    The couple of instances floating around that still work are, to my knowledge, forks of the original Nitter that have been upgraded to work with a pool of manually created X accounts, which is a relatively expensive and fragile approach that most instances probably aren't up for taking.

    Not to single out twitter because a lot of web sites simply appear as a blank page.

    The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

  • Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads

    Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

    Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

    Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

    Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

    Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

    The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

    ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

    A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

    The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers
