Take a break from Twitter
If you use the Tor Browser or the Mullvad Browser you will see the popup of NoScript - because your identity at X can be open to other websites in your web browser. Keep your privacy in mind.
You may leave traces without realizing it. The way you write, what you read about and how much, when you are active, etc. Remember, if you are a Monero XMR user, you may not want this at all!
Mental hygiene; it feels good not to be at the mercy of the posts there for a while. Try it out!
It usually takes up a lot of your time without you doing anything productive.
Elon Musk himself is a major disinformation disseminator on his own platform. But many of the posts there are also questionable.
X Using Your Tweets to Train Its AI. And even if you have deactivated the artificial intelligence option, the users you interact with probably haven't deactivated it. Because it was introduced without notifying the users.
Your question is disengenuous and is driven by abiased agenda, not objective observance.
My question may have been rhetorical, but not disingenuous. I firmly and honestly believe people should have access to information to help them make choices. If you care about objectivity then you should provide some hard evidence to prove your point instead of just telling people they are wrong. Feel fee to try proving what kind of "agenda" I could have by beleiving in free access to information while you're at it.
I do agree with your explanarion. Your initial responce came across as flippant as if there is only one approved opinion, and that is to hate Twitter, as opposed respecting people's decision to only use Twitter.
I see the hyocritical posts on the fediverse to hate on X/Twitter, but at the same time the fediverse is constantly begging to be accepted as relevant. Considering it's only a small number of people that use Twitter on a weekly basis, Mastadon is completely meaningless and will forever be nothing, and nobody has ever heard of Lemmy, but Lemmy has already garaunteed itself to remain nonexistant to discussions on the stredt and in busineasaes.
I do wonder if Mastodon is doomed to be forgotten, even if there are servers still running it, but it's too early to say. But I will bet cash money that absolutely nothing from fediverse will ever have broad appeal and fediverse will permanently stay in a tiny nothing hole separate from society.
