I would love it if every website change on Twitter/X didn’t result in endless “news articles”. I need to find a way to block this crap. I literally don’t care. Stop using X if you don’t like it. Done. Stop talking about it. This is worse than celebrity gossip.
I’ve learned recently on social media that the truth behind every headline/post is the most boring version of it, or to put it another way, every headline/post is written in the most explosive language possible to describe what actually happened.

I’m not necessarily against showing stats for users, but we don’t have corporate goals like “engagement”.
I think there are many users who simply don’t care as long as there are memes and content. They won’t leave for a long time. But as users who do care leave, the content will decline and others will follow.
Glad it is fixed. The site already feels way faster!
Some day Cloudflare will enter their enshittifcation phase and a lot of small websites will die off rather than move off it. It’s best for sites to not all be behind the same few companies.
