Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
We’ve got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.
Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.
You are the hero we need! ❤️

Great “technology” article.
Downvote Musk spam.
The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Can we please just stop talking about the clown in command, and his dogshit bigoted platform?
And how is this even about technology anymore?
It never was.
Seriously though, are there any better tech communities here?
This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he’s turned out to be.
The film purports to feature young people who sought gender affirming care, but now regret doing so.
This isn’t anti-trans
Consider the source
Out of context, on its own, it wouldn’t be. But if you look at who is pushing it, that changes the picture.
Despite pushback from some users
Well there’s your problem. You’re still using the fascist platform.
Any active user who “pushes back” in an attempt to “fix” the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There’s no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.
Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant
Twitter already sucked in its own ways, but X-formerly-known-as-twitter is so utter shit I have a hard time imagining people browsing and enjoying it.
X-formerly-known-as-twitter
I’ve also heard people call it “Twitter, desperately trying to be known as X”.
