    I didn’t accuse you specifically of cherry-picking content, but a lot of the posts I see here on Lemmy about Twitter/X being terrible seem very much like cherry-picking.

    “I’m a centralist”

    I’m not a centrist, but I do disagree with both parties. I consider myself ideologically as a left-leaning Libertarian, and I honestly think more people are closer to Libertarian than either major party. Hence why I’m interested in hearing discussion from both sides of the proverbial aisle, I think a lot gets missed in our stupid 2-party system.

    current events

    Twitter/X isn’t “current events,” it’s a social media app. Yes, people post about current events, but there are many other ways to stay informed of current events than that particular medium. I have avoided Twitter in the past because I don’t like the format, and I’ll continue to avoid it now that it’s relabled as “X” because I still don’t like the format, and I also don’t like the CEO. But I also don’t like opinions being passed around as facts.
