X is down for many users right now, with hundreds reporting that the social media site is producing error messages and isn't working for them.

As a recovering political addict I do the same. I might disappear for a week or a few years. When the level of stupid reaches a certain height ( like it is now) I just bail and go back to the real world. Life is too short to waste it listening to anonymous strangers babble on and on about nothing.
Back up here in N Carolina.
now back up in L A.
AMEN! 👍
Up for me 9:19 am/CST/ 50 miles north of Peoria Il.
I agree with you. We're better off getting propaganda from CNN and print media from sources such as the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Virtue signal much? Some people use X, some don’t. Doesn’t make you superior because you don’t.
Working just fine.

You missed the point completely.
