Technology Elon Musk's X down for tens of thousands of users [Updated]

Elmo constantly messes around with algorithm and it was the reason why I gave up and deleted my X account. One day it shows posts that interest me, the next day it shows me extreme right-wing, full nazᴉ propaganda.

FB is worse with sponsored posts filling the timeline which cannot be blocked by uBO.
I deleted my FB account after long years of use and having many dear friends.

And take GrokAI along with X.

The stories about GrokAI's N**i-Christian Nationalist algorithms have been all over the news lately, enough to persuade X to make some extremely minor modifications to it. The only change they made means it slightly harder for those under 18yrs. old to make nude deepfakes. It still spews out 99.9% of the same garbage.

Both X and GrokAI are useless, except for scamming the U.S. government and taxpayers out of billions for contracts.

I'm sticking to X not because it is the best platform, but it is the only one among those with the majority of homeland users; I need such a population to follow the local news and trends.

Same here.
X is the only social media that really counts nowadays and algo has been fixed recently.

X is still the best for international news and sports banter.
Previous Twitter was awful too for many things. People were getting banned, shadow-banned, one week ban left, right, and center on Twitter for not aligning with the American left or for very silly reasons. I once got a 7-day ban from tweeting for calling someone "You're being fu**ing stupid" in a sports-related debate. Who here never in their life have called someone stupid?
Meta confessed that they shut down many accounts upon government request which happened in my country as well. I highly dislike government level ban.
Now under Elon, bans don't happen often, but Elon has banned people a few times who hurt his ego. He and Trump both have ego issues and their biases, but it was obvious that Trump was going to win since the other party couldn't even tell the difference between men and women and believed men could become women and vice versa.
Now the right party is leaning far more to the right on some issues that people who voted for him didn't expect to be but I believe it would've far worse on many things if the other party won the election. Kamala was simply an awful candidate.
Unfortunately, there's no middle party. It's not just a USA thing either. It's an issue in many places around the world. It's either one way or the other way.
My X algorithm seems kind of okay. I do see more right leaning polotical stuff but not as much as people who doesn't use X think. But my feed is mostly news, sports, coding, linux, windows. Not a lot of political content.

X also has a nice feature, I can shift from "for you" tab to "following" to see only posts from people I follow, if not interested in the suggested posts mixed with those of people I follow.

True. Sometimes I want none of the "For You" stuff and just relax browsing "Following" in leisure time. It's a nice feature indeed.
