Blue tweets are usually just people talking about crypto or shilling some fringe conspiracy. It is really is a useful metric for low value content.
- I like to call it a "kick me" sing!
This article brought to you by March 2023.
Wonder what the update is.
- oh
  still can’t hide from Blue Blocker
  
  That title reads like "x now let's premium subscribers verify their real IDs"
  Wouldn't most people assume their ID is real? Or at least take it to their relevant government institution if they have doubts?
Blue Blocker is a total success tho.
- Blocking Twitter and X domains in your router is by far the better success. No longer accidentally find yourself on there.
  
  I recommend privacy redirect and a Nitter instance!
  
  I’m not there by accident. There are plenty of worthwhile people to follow there that aren’t anywhere else. It’s easy enough to filter out accounts you don’t want to be exposed to, see all the burns you want, and still not pay anything for it.
Article is from March 28 …
- I checked the github thing and was hoping for an update on the stats but then realised I don't know how it works and went back go scrolling Lemmy like a hobo on a mission.
For a sub called enough Musk spam, it's ironic you're responsible for 90% of the Musk spam on my feed.
You guys should have gone with anti-musk circle jerk instead.
- The article is old, but if it bothers you. You should block the community.
- amazing that you haven’t just blocked it yet and solved your own problem
  
  I don't like blocking communities, but this is the first one I blocked because Jesus christ you guys are just as obsessed as his fan boys
- I saw it on the technology community and thought it should rather posted to this community.
