@ladyteruki @Kels_316 @Gargron I used to use Ublock Origin to block the "trending" display and other page elements that tried to push on me stuff that I had no interest in seeing. Stuff like that helped make it even easier to built a firewall around oneself. ...at least before the diarrhea golem took over, anyway. 3 comments
@ladyteruki @Kels_316 @Gargron Sure, things like that have their uses. But I was using Twitter exclusively to keep up on a specific musical niche, so anything outside of that was of no interest. I never really 'hung around' there. I also recall seeing a lot of ragebait-type stuff there before I blocked it, but I never knew it had settings, so maybe I could have fixed it another way. Oops. @screambiogenesis @Kels_316 @Gargron : it's absolutely a matter of preference, and I believe that no two users use(d) Xwitter the same way and/or for the same reason anyway. |

@screambiogenesis @Kels_316 @Gargron : I like the trending display but only because I've set it to monitoring worldwide trends. I made sure to unselect every bit of customization I could. That way I can see what random TV show is trending in Japan or Brazil or wherever, when it is XD But admittedly this wouldn't work for everyone because you also see tons of trends in languages you don't speak and/or about topics you know nothing about and... some people don't like that.
