    I’d like you to demonstrate where this discussion I linked to “cherry-picked content”. I do not believe you are arguing in good faith and are trying the very tired “I’m a centralist” argument. That road ran out about a decade ago.

    I’m going to be in honest, I’m not going to go out of my way to try and find information that is very easily publicly available. Your refusal to be even moderately informed about current events is your problem, not mine.

      I didn’t accuse you specifically of cherry-picking content, but a lot of the posts I see here on Lemmy about Twitter/X being terrible seem very much like cherry-picking.

      “I’m a centralist”

      I’m not a centrist, but I do disagree with both parties. I consider myself ideologically as a left-leaning Libertarian, and I honestly think more people are closer to Libertarian than either major party. Hence why I’m interested in hearing discussion from both sides of the proverbial aisle, I think a lot gets missed in our stupid 2-party system.

      current events

      Twitter/X isn’t “current events,” it’s a social media app. Yes, people post about current events, but there are many other ways to stay informed of current events than that particular medium. I have avoided Twitter in the past because I don’t like the format, and I’ll continue to avoid it now that it’s relabled as “X” because I still don’t like the format, and I also don’t like the CEO. But I also don’t like opinions being passed around as facts.
