I recall that there was an app for browsers to replace the word "Trump" by anything you wanted (I chose "Twat") and replace photo's of him by pictures of kittens. I hope someone puts it to market for Musk (which I would replace by "Irrelevant Individual." Such that you get headines like "Things Former Twitter Employees Said About Irrelevant Individual That Got Them Fired."

yes you can actually create filters to block all tweets with specific words in them, and of course also block specific accounts.

I have a friend that has blocked and muted Musk half a dozen times and twitter keeps undoing it.

So no..

LifePro Tip: Block Elon Musk on Twitter, it makes Twitter better for you and makes all the money he was forced to spend to buy the App a big waste. /Nelson Mutz laugh/

The solution is to read everything about elon musk fully and then force yourself to watch hours to elon news for days. Then you'll be desensitized and it won't bother you as much. FYI I'm a masochist

Is someone dealing with the consequences of being spoon fed by an algorithm for (holy shit) eight years?

Simple, your phone as a button on the side of it that blocks the screen, and most clothes have pockets to tuck it in.

If in computer, most software have a button on the top right marked with an "X", it does wonders

I did this based on Trump a while ago based on a LPT someone posted but unfortunately cannot remember the process. Know that is can be done though!

Not OP but I've tried and the sports news and commentary is just too good.

It would be interesting if all the sports media got together and created their own platform..

I don’t know, I just had to comment that “my head will explode like a watermelon at a Gallagher show” is my new favorite expression.

Getting away from Elon was the reason I deleted my Twitter account. It was non stop about him, and I hated him years before he ever bought the app. I used to love Twitter; now, I absolutely hope it dies completely.

Stop wasting your time on social network.

Why do you want Twitter to fail? Is it because it is no longer a work social network?

Downfall?

I think he spelled success incorrectly.

Twitter is already in the same ballpark when it comes to profit margin as Google and Microsoft after the Twitter layoffs. Made a 48% swing from a 20% loss to a +28% profit almost overnight.

And they hit record new user sign-ups.

How about just scroll past it instead of letting it take up so much real estate in your head that you have to post about it not taking up so much real estate?
