    Elon Musk is frozen my Twitter account for 30 days

    It continues to amaze me that people use X.com. It's not a public
    website, it's a Nazi Douchnozzle's personal blog. Mr Free Speech turns
    out to be extremely quick to block and hide anything he doesn't like.

    There's an obvious solution to this.

    For starters, don't post shit on his personal blog. Christ, get off of
    X. It's garbage anyway.

    This is the truth! With the rise of mastodon, there is not reason to
    follow X. On mastodon you can choose between 100s of instances. Choose one
    that provides the most comfortable ideological home for you, but beware of instance blocks.

    I don't use X for political aspects, but as a viewer, I see stuff like
    this:

    Well, you are already active on Usenet so that's okay...

    I don't use X for political aspects, but as a viewer, I see
    stuff like this:

    I was always told not to click dodgy links on the internet...
    they could be anything!

    I liked the pole vault one though... ;-)

    Please be careful what you wish for. Would you really want 10 million woke people and 10 million Muskies and Trumpers to flock to usenet?

    Ten million Wokies trying to figure out how to use a
    newsreader is a fun thought.

    Usenet is one of the last bastions of free speech online so
    all are welcome... although anything is better than X or
    Facebook.
