Yeah, I thought of getting into grayjay instead, but the android app seems very unstable and slow for me, maybe I'll try tweaking ReVanced for a similar result instead.

To add to this, you should also remember that malicious hackers will always exist, and since most surveillance systems are made by the government, cyber security isn't their strong suit.

X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage. in c/technology@lemmy.world

I feel like most if not pretty much all of the value of Twitter was the name itself, and the recognition it had.

Don't they have that thing where you can turn your account into a self hosted website? Maybe decentralized wasn't the best word, I mean users don't have to rely on the website staying up / moderators not going mad or stuff like that.

A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

Not enough people are talking about what lemmy and bluesky have done, I'm not that tech savvy but from what I've understand their decentralized nature makes people always in control as opposed to one company.

Going on these sites brings me back to the earlier days of the internet, where it felt like interacting with real people, posting to an actual community, rather than being in one of those dystopian movies with slurm drinks and infinite amount of trash being pumped out by bots, to get as many views for monetization/outreach which is what pretty much all major social medias feel today.
