IBM, Lionsgate, the European Union, and, reportedly, Apple, have all pulled advertising from X following Elon Musk’s apparent endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Experts say it could soon get much worse.
Starship launch tomorrow though, wouldn’t want to miss out on hype because of something titled “Elon Musk’s Starship Rocket” etc… I’m a big space nerd and while Elon is a dork this rocket will be a massive leap for everything space related if it works out.
Fuck X/Twitter though, sick of hearing about it for sure. I’ve heard rumours that SpaceX only does as well as they do because they have Shotwell running the show and they have Elon wranglers to keep him away from anything important…
You could filter out Twitter and realistically filter out a large chunk of them. Shit’s usually referred to “X, formerly known as Twitter…” in most posts I see.
Pretty much, that’s my policy anyway. People still tweet there too, none of this “posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.” Fucker trying to use up more characters everywhere.
You can always just add his name as a filtering keyword. Tools are available to help you.

Thanks for sharing. Feel free to blame Musk. He’s the one who renamed it to X, which is impossible to filter out.

Could just make a lemmy-wide rule to always deadname it in post titles. But good luck with that since people still won’t put it all in enoughmuskspam.
