In this statement we will explain why regarding Social media – Twitter now no longer officially supported.
I try not to get too involved in this sort of thing. However, social media seems to be a necessary evil of modern life. It is important for me and my associates to put forward an unbiased and professional appearance. It seems that this desire has become increasingly incompatible with presence on the platform now known as X, formerly Twitter.
So for Social media – Twitter now no longer officially supported.
Misinformation, bots and owner interference
It had become increasingly clear that there is unparalleled levels of interference in what people see on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. There is also unacceptable levels of automated posts and false accounts.
I cannot in good faith direct people towards this.
We cannot afford the time and effort required in administration to deal with the onslaught of spam and bot activity.
We cannot continue to interact with a platform where there is no return (possible shadow ban) for the efforts made.
Look at the pictures above and below. We need more beauty in our life and to celebrate what’s good and to be cherished. The platform no known as X is not now a place for this to exist. Lets spend more time outside and less time in futile activities.
A positive way forward
It is not all doom, far from it.
There is a better, new alternative that we are trailing that works well for Mini-blogging (the official name for what was formerly called a Tweet). I believe that it was created by one of the original founders of Twitter.
