The majority of traffic from X may have been fake during the Super Bowl
Control Panel for Twitter [1] can automatically hide boosted blue replies for you
…although if an account is big enough, you're safer looking at the Quote Tweets instead for actual comments (it also restores the old direct link to those in the focused Tweet), e.g. you're lucky to get more than a handful of non-blue replies under an Elon Musk tweet among the engagement farmers before you hit the maximum number of replies Twitter will load

Ask HN: Nitter officially declared "over" today, alternatives?
In terms of a browser extension for Twitter, I highly recommend Control Panel for Twitter. It works as a browser extension as well as on some mobile browsers. It is highly customizable to filter out who/what you don't want to see and is fully open source if you feel the need to tweak.
It's updated regularly and the creator is highly active on Twitter to provide updates and answer questions - @ControlPanelFT
If you decide to use it, drop the guy a donation, they work hard on it!

X confuses the masses by removing all details from links
Control Panel for Twitter can already put them back [1] * *
[1] https://github.com/insin/control-panel-for-twitter/releases/...
* while Twitter continues to put the headline in the aria-label on the link, given there's no accessibility team left to protect it
* unless you're using Firefox, as Firefox Add-ons now takes ~4 days to review new versions

Mozilla.social is live and open to registration
> Prioritising the replies of people who pay money for it was a body blow
A Twitter reply thread will only load around 200 Tweets in total, so on Tweets which have a lot of engagement, it's more likely that your reply will never be seen even if you paid, which defeats their whole purpose for ruining reply threads as a selling point. Just an incredibly short-sighted change.
My browser extension for Twitter [0] can hide replies from "verified" users - if you look at any Elon Musk tweet with this feature enabled, you'll be lucky if you see more than 1 reply.
Quote Tweets are where it's at now if you want to find comments on busy tweets which aren't Twitter Blue user posting multiple cry-laugh emojis, and they've recently made those take multiple clicks to access, from one of 2 different menus (my extension also restores the old Quote Tweets link).

We Don’t Need a New Twitter
While I realize this does nothing for mobile (RIP third-party clients), Control Panel for Twitter [1] has been nice for me to use as a browserscript. Defaults/hides "For You" and tweaks a bunch of other stuff (hideable trends, etc).

Going back to the old (pre-X) Twitter iOS app
On desktop, the extension "Control Panel for Twitter" will let you "Replace X branding changes", it's great.

Is there a app or plugin to block out the "for you" tab?
Idk for mobile, but for desktop - one such example.

Ask HN: What are some promising “healthy social media” projects?
Well, since you asked... :-)
I've been working on something in this space for a little while. It's called Circles. Originally, I just wanted a safer and easier way to share baby photos with my extended family. Safer than posting pictures of my kid publicly on Facebook. Easier / more convenient than pinging the crap out of everyone's phone on Signal.
It's kind of like a bare-bones version of Facebook. Only you can have multiple social circles (like in G+), each with your own "wall" for posting stuff and timeline of posts from the friends that you're following there.
All posts are E2E encrypted, using the same crypto as in Element/Matrix, and the back end is just a standard Matrix server. The E2EE prevents the server from seeing what you post, or from injecting crap into your timeline. You can use your own Matrix server, or you can sign up to create an account on mine.
It's open source: https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios
You're welcome to try out the beta if you want: https://testflight.apple.com/join/cwsJZed9
If all goes well, it should go live in the App Store later this month.
Unfortunately it's iOS only for now. I'm working as fast as I can to get started on an Android version.
If you try it out, please let me know what you think! Thanks!!!

Some biologists and ecologists think social media is a risk to humanity
Wow, well said. We are trying to build something like this with Circles. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios
It’s E2E encrypted, so the server can’t datamine your posts or meddle with your timeline. Built on Matrix underneath, so building federated communities will be straightforward.
Let me know if you’d like to try it out.

Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
I’ve been learning SwiftUI and building an encrypted social network app. It’s called Circles, and it’s almost ready to go.

Next I need to make the Android version. I’m hearing a lot of good things about Flutter.

Twitter confirms “Twitter Blue”, which costs $2.99 per month
This is awesome. Not because I like Twitter. It’s pretty awful.
And I don’t hold out much hope that this will do anything to stop Twitter from boosting crazy garbage in order to maximize “engagement” and sell ads.
I’m excited because I think this will make it easier for competitors to come along and offer a better, more user-focused experience. You can do a lot with $3/user.
Full disclosure: I’m building a privacy focused social network that will be a paid subscription service. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios
