Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
yes, but you have to click the “show additional replies, some of which may be offensive” button. So caveat emptor? Plus, you have to be actively looking for reasons to be irritated if you are looking at any of the comments, let alone scrolling through all of them.
He's simply pointing out the existence of it in the replies, not recommending a way to enjoy Twitter.
The replies have always been a vile, wretched wasteland of humanity dating back way before Elon. Anyway, my main point was that he had to click through a warning to get to the reply in question.
A lot of times you don't though. People here were saying they don't see porn at all on twitter. I saw this tonight on a football account and wanted to point it out because this is a football themed site. Stuff like this and much worse is all over twitter now and no, it did not used to be like this.
I believe that this is correct as I had clicked on the replies of a sports tweet earlier and the 2nd reply was a NSFW porn bot. It WAS blurred out with a button you’d have to click to see the content, but it the post wasn’t hidden by a button that you had to click to view more replies.
I see a bunch of tweets with Joan rivers but no port in there
It’s been working just fine for me so far then, since that’s the first time I’ve seen a post like that and I had to affirmatively tell Twitter I was ready for the garbage to be able to see it in the first place.
Search Michelle and in top posts it's the 16th post down right now. It's like a 2 hour Asian xxx movie. It's like this every night.
Yes, I can see the posts you're referring to. But I had to click like four or five "show more replies" buttons to get there, plus another "show replies replies that might be offensive" button, then a "show me the NSFW material" button. That's kind of like blaming my web browser for showing me porn when I merely typed in the name of a porn site, hit enter, and started clicking on videos.
Yes, in that case. That hasn’t always been there.
Yes, again, in this case. I doubt Willie is going to post a link to hardcore porn on this site. He already said about 5 posts up about another encounter he found without a warning and he directed you to how you could see the example if you so choose.
Not really blaming anybody for anything. Just pointing out that my experience with Twitter at the moment is apparently quite a bit different than yours, and speculating that it probably has something to do with the algorithm. I do believe you when you say that you're getting porn in your TL. But lots of us don't have that problem. That's why I tend to think that this is more of a "the algorithm needs tweaking" problem than anything else.
This.
That's right. I notice this happens more frequently on breaking news before the post presumably gets reported. Good thing that breaking news isn't the one big advantage Twitter had over other platforms....
He purchased Twitter because he was legally obligated to. How is the current platform of Twitter any way shape or form a competitor to PayPayl?He’s so dumb he owns Tesla, Twitter/X(which he purchased to rival Paypal) and is sending rockets/satellites into space.I know he’s rich and all but he honestly has to be one of the dumbest men alive.X
I think there's quite a bit of space between "Twitter isn't quite ready to compete against PayPal at this point" and "Elon Musk is one of the dumbest men alive." The first sentence seems undeniably true and also makes for an interesting conversation about network effects, economies of scope across various genres of online businesses, the desirability of having your financial life connected to your social media identity, etc. The second is just ****-posting. We should stick to the more interesting stuff.He purchased Twitter because he was legally obligated to.

if you use the internet..... at all..... your personal information is enriching billionaires already.
Yes, FB collects data on everyone even if you have never joined. I try to minimize my footprint.
That was just one example. Most of the time you only need to click on something that's trending and scroll down to see hardcore porn. Anne Hathaway was trending a few days ago. The first few posts were nude videos of her from her movies. Wasn't looking to see her naked but tamer than penetration I guess. Scroll down a bit more and it was random hardcore porn with the account putting #Anne Hathaway before the video. Stuff like this is there 24/7 on the site for anyone to see. It has nothing to do with me, my cookies, my algorithms or anything like that either. My elderly mother sees it every day too. I get that some people have this hero worship of Musk and other wildly successful businessmen but what Capella said yesterday was 100% accurate and it kind of irked me that guys were patting each other on the back for dismissing his absolutely valid claims. Also, I find it strange that the defense of the neverending twitter porn is it take a few mouse clicks to see it so it's really on the user for clicking the mouse so many times.
As Ivan said, I’m not calling you a liar, but our user experiences are apparently entirely different. I don’t see the stuff you do on my feed - who or what is to blame for that, I don’t have the foggiest idea. As for your last point, it’s even stranger to complain about seeing obscene materials after you’ve clicked to confirm that you want to see obscene materials. Hopefully there are some changes afoot to put even more of the objectionable content you are finding behind that type of consent request so you aren’t seeing it in the course of your normal searching.
Before the ownership change of the site there weren't "obscene materials" when you clicked the see more posts that may be objectionable button. It was always just some loudmouth or or maybe an insulting comment. Never pornography.

I actually think the idea of the dumb billionaire is a pretty interesting topic, but probably not for this thread. We have to grant he's built some incredibly successful companies, and there's no doubt that becoming the richest person in the world isn't something you just stumble into. I don't really know his background or how all this happened, but it does seem reasonable to grant him some level of intellectual respect just due to his current station in life alone. At the same time, he's unquestionably a bizarre dude who certainly seems to have really botched things in his foray into the social media industry. I can't bring myself to make the leap of faith that he's playing 6d chess on a level none of us can fathom because of what he's done with electric cars and space rockets. But I have to acknowledge that I originally thought the iPad was the stupidest idea I'd ever seen, and now spend 3-4 hours every single day on mine.
I personally have quite a bit of experience working with Doctors on their non-doctor pursuits like investing in property and other non-medical business ventures. These are professionals who are highly trained and skilled, literally taking life/death into their hands on a near-daily basis. But when it comes to owning a storage facility with a buddy or trying to manage an 8-unit condo building they bought, they can be complete idiots. Like, unbelievably arrogant, unethical and just plain stupid - like they really believe normal rules won't apply to them in the real estate industry because they are so revered and successful at the clinic.
And your post is exactly why he was interested in buying Twitter in the first place.
it is still good for the college high school athlete recruiting game that is about the best use of it that i am aware of take that to the bank brohan
Great post
Also probably a personal angle with him too as his ex (Grimes) was dating a trans person. Also believe he had a son that now identifies as a woman.
Right right.
