While I hate it too, there's a way to block scammers from reaching your content. But at this point, I don't know if Elon removed the blocking feature already...
GBAtemp.net - The Independent Video Game Community

Yeah.. It has changed a lot since I left it
I won't be continuing to use it though

I used to use the platform cause I can ignore the controversy, but after I had too much burntout, I started to only use the app for browsing like all of the other apps that I have but only use for said reason.
DragonMals
I tried deactivating it, but forgot that you CANNOT use the app without a profile...
SunsetFelid
That's fair, I have an account for lurking but I ended up not using it at all until today, and even then it wasn't really worth hopping on
DragonMals
I wish that it wasn't like that. All this time I thought Elon was improving it, but it's getting worse to the point of literally taking something from us and locking it behind Premium (Tweetdeck was free for everyone in which I used a lot, and now you got to pay for it)
DragonMals
He's destroying the platform, and now after bringing my moots to steam, I now have no other way to bring them to something else other than X.
SunsetFelid
Its really frustrating. I switched to Mastodon/Fediverse when the announcement came out, and while I figured Elon's acquisition would be a sh*tshow, I didn't expect it to get this bad, just like, Facebook levels of bad
DragonMals
I don't really trust the Fediverse. I don't know why, but it doesn't really feel right. Threads sucks, Mashdoon is not really well known, Bluesky is locked behind a code that only friends that have the code will give them to you, and there's another one that I just heard about recently that also involved the Fediverse.
SunsetFelid
I don't use any of the bigger names in Fediverse, just smaller ones like lgbtqia.space and tech.lgbt
If I wanna branch out into other niche groups I can, but I mostly just stick to those two

The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
