    Happens all the time for me. It’s such a stupid design decision to put it up there (or maybe it’s on purpose?)

        This is the new embedded Twitter post on News sites, not on Twitter directly. That’s why I clicked the X, wanting it to go away but I ended up on X and gave Elon a click

          And maybe that was his idea. He‘d trick people in mass visiting his site with obnoxious embeds that beg you to close them and bam! You‘re right there in the mosch pit.

          That’s fair. It’s quite difficult to get whole communities of people move to another platform. I still miss the RuneScape (art) community that was on Twitter. That’s really the only thing I miss about the site though, so can’t say I regret leaving.

              you already have masto and bsky though? Why do you keep giving money and visits/engagement to Elon Fuckface?

                  then get your friends to move to mastodon, and/or wait for bsky invites to give to them, or tell them to sign up for bsky.

                  stop giving money to the nazi platform
