X 17+

I left social media several years ago because conservatives were not allowed to voice themselves. But now i am back because X is a town square where each person’s truth is not held back because the MSM want it to be censored or even eradicated. We are getting news faster and we are able add comments and even articles. It is such a creative outlet for people like me that have so much to say in this historical time. If you really want to understand what is going on in the world and how people feel about these times X is the place to turn to. Spaces is another tool on X where you can hang out and listen to many different voices at all times of day. I love to see some old-time radio people hop on and enjoy this new way of getting their message out and I am thrilled when the likes of Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy partake in an open debate about a current event. I feel like we have not had a true town square since our Founding Father’s days until now. Great minds can get together here and we actually get to listen and get inspiration. This App is really making a difference across the world and bringing us all closer. Just today there was a person from England posting that they were praying for America under one of my posts. That just awestruck me and it would not happen if it was not for X.

I like Elon Musk, but this app is not good for humanity. I was on the app for 4 minutes and I saw a guy get jumped by 6 people, a guy run a red light deliberately, and another fight at a restaurant. How is this good for humanity if everything going viral is violent, illegal, and harmful. This encourages more of this. I get life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but viral content should be harmful. Bad things happen, but it doesn't mean we should promote it and encourage this behavior by it getting traction. I love Tesla and space X, but X is a depressing nightmare and it feels like it even affects Elon Musk as we heard on his earnings call. This app can still turn around and a way to do that would be to eliminate any viral content that is fighting, running red lights, and robbing people. Ya I saw someone get robbed on the app and it's so sad, but that stuff should be private or else now we have encouraged bad behavior.

On another note twitter isn't the only one to blame. I got off Tik tok after the day I saw a dog get swallowed whole by an alligator. It feels like that's where X is heading right now so I'm deleting both of them off my phone.

I also have bought the 8 dollar verified and to me it's still not worth it to just be at the top of a fighting viral video.

I never liked Twitter before Elon but gosh, he some how made me hate it even more. The reason for this review specifically, however, is the glitch(?) that happens when attempting to change your display name. I personally have 5 twitter accounts (personal & business) so the inconvenience of being locked out of one of my more insignificant ones isn’t that bad. However, after troubleshooting, logging out, logging back in, even changing my password, I’ve still been unable to regain access to my account. This wouldn’t be much of an issue if I could log into one of my other accounts, but I can’t. There’s a blank screen with the only button being “options”. When selected the options are “help” and “sign out”, which I’ve already attempted. This issue never happened before Elon, at least not to me. The increase in promotional tweets, ads, and paywalled features that were once free have resulted in the downfall of twitter as a whole.

I was able to log back into one of my other accounts briefly by opening a dm that was sent to it. As soon as I tried to re-add the account I’m locked out of, the same black screen appeared. I knew of this issue prior to attempting to change my display name. I had changed my display name on another one of my accounts since hearing about it so I didn’t think it would affect me.

All in all, my experience with Twitter has been disappointing at best.
