Super easy fix, barely an inconvenience. Don't fucking use Twitter.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 12 hours ago

If you have the choice between Firefox and Xitter and are conflicted... What are you even doing with your life??

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 34 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yea I have a bunch of anti tracking shit on Firefox mobile and desktop and it breaks so many normie sites. If it breaks the site, move on. Fuck em.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 18 points 16 hours ago

That means it's working.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago

Firefox isn't causing issues. X is.

x (formerly twitter)... you mean twitter (desperately x)

even elon calls it twitter dude why are people still pretending they have to honor a rebrand of a company by a dipshit who deadnames and misgenders his own kid.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

just call it xitter (pronounced shitter) as that is what it is, full of shit

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

nah, i realize it's popular around here but it still acknowledges the rebrand. I just don't want to.

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I’m sticking with “Twitter (currently known as X)”.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

it's not though. only musk glazers make an effort to call it x. everyone either says twitter or does something with parentheses. if it were currently known as x people would've stopped mentioning both names. it's been more than a year now. complete failure of a rebrand IMO.

If you're using Twitter, fuck you.

I don't care why you're still on some fascist manchild's propaganda box. Leave. You're already here - you know alternatives exist. Stop visiting the Nazi bar.

I deleted that dumpster fire the minute old Space Karen bought it. I wasn't tweeting but I used it to read some people. But I'm ok to give that up to never ever support what fuckface does.

It's known to cause issues, such as costing us money instead of making us money, and making your browsing experience slightly more tolerable in this dump

[–] nadram@lemmy.world 119 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Perfect for when you accidentally click on one of their embedded posts. Hurray!

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a plugin that disables that trash.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Privacy badger does this.

Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I use this as well. Works great for me at least.

[–] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what plug-in they are talking about, but personally I just disabled the site using ublock origin.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago

I use UBo. I'll have to set that.

Sorry but i imagined something different when i read "enchanted tracking protection"

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 3 points 17 hours ago

For this enchantment, put your electronic device on the Anvil and...

Roll for initiative...

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you're still on Twitter/X, you might as well join Truth Social.

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you want to see a post for some reason, use nitter! My fav instance is xcancel.com

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Holy crap, is it still working?

I thought nitter died...

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago

Xcancel is using multiple accounts to scrap the data,so you can say it's nitter but it's modified to show data from those accounts.

This is insane lol

I cringe so hard when they write "let's". Let's never meet again

[–] doughless@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm a little confused, that's pretty typical usage of the word. Or is it because it comes across a little pretentious? As though they're just trying to cooperate with you to more easily violate your privacy.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.

[–] Pandemanium@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you but almost every major corporation has a person whose entire job is to translate corporate copy into easy-to-parse, casual, friendly "conversation," because they do want you to think of the brand as your trusted friend. They're trying to manipulate us at every level, every interaction.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

Well of course I know him, he's me (not anymore thankfully, but I have had to write that kind of copy before)

[–] elvith@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

reloads, cocks gun Yeah, let's give it another shot!
