Say your head is in the right place staying close to the Good Lord!
I quit the Social Media some years ago. Tried Nextdoor, loved the local aspect and the Marketplace, but didn’t long before it turned into a black hole. Facebook wants an ID and a bill to confirm your identity these days. Man o man...
This fine site, Feeder RSS, Craigslist, and text messages is all I really use.
FR offers you a menu of threads to read. You consciously choose what might interest you.
By contrast Twitter has an algorithm that feeds you items; and the algorithm studies what you read or react to. Sometimes it reinforces what you seem to like, other times it gives you the opposite.
You can “train” the alogorithm to some degree, but there’s a learning curve to it and there’s no instructions that I know about. FR is easier because there is no algorithm involved.
Twitter can be a good news aggregator if you figure out how to train it. Both sites have their good points and their weaknesses.
X is a horrible name for a social media site (unless it’s a pornographic one.)
After Tucker platformed a Nazi sympathizer who said Churchill was the main bad guy?
What Heidi thread?
I call him Robert (Third) Reich. Even on his threads.
Thumbs up for Shawn Ryan.
He does excellent interviews—does not talk over his guests—and brings the best out of all of them.
He is a class act—and very sharp.
Good for you. You’re better off free of it. I’m one of those few who never joined Twitter, Facebook, or the like. I never understood the appeal.
I don’t often go on X but I do check Liberty Daily. If I want adult opinions from posters Free Republic is my go to.
Ryan is a quasi neighbor
A lot of righty pods live within 10 miles of where I’m typing
If I become convinced that Tucker himself is a Nazi sympathizer, I'll stop being a fan. I expect that he will interview obnoxious people as part of his job.
You know he’s reinstated, right?
I also deleted my Rumble account. I got tired of it as well. If posting link there I’ll surely view the video, but I don’t need an account there.
