I've held onto my bird site this long but seeing that lying bag-o-dicks Alex is being allowed back has me closer than ever to clearing out.
I interact with nobody on there, especially now, algorithms have basically made me invisible.
So what do I use it for?
I get my real news from real sources but most of the notifications that I have come from the trending topics, usually when somebody has died. I'm old, I'm checking the obits lol
How do y'all keep up with "what's trending" if not on Twit?
@Slines @chuck34108 Reading, occasionally lurk on Spoutible. And here. @DJNoneYa @WeThePeople @TheNewsOwl etc. Happier not knowing the rage du jour on X. Leave! You won't miss it.
@chuck34108 Increasingly, I ignore trends designed to manipulate. I don’t keep up, I guess.
Here. If it's actual news, I often know it hours and sometimes days before MSM picks up the story.
I live in Maine. I learned about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine *here* because COSOCOM was streaming a notice about it almost immediately.
@chuck34108 I see most major news happenings here. I am satisfied with that. I do subscribe to 2 newspapers (one local, one regional) and some magazines (paper, not digital) as well. Works for me. 🙂
@chuck34108 interesting question @gemswinc
