The same is true for decentralized social media. I&rsquo;ve always been a primary user of microblog platforms (like Twitter/X). Having experienced both the traditional and &ldquo;decentralized&rdquo; approaches to microblogs, they both have some particular shortcoming in terms of what I want to get out of &ldquo;social media&rdquo;.</p> <h2 id="twitterx">Twitter/X</h2> <p>This is fairly self explanatory. The rebranding of Twitter to X and Musk&rsquo;s new ownership of the platform shifted the direction of the platform to be ever more political. X Premium boosting visibility is also something I wasn&rsquo;t a particular fan of. You can&rsquo;t view anything without signing in either, so goodbye viewing stuff anonymously. There&rsquo;s just a lot of &ldquo;features&rdquo; here I&rsquo;m not a fan of. Needless to say, there&rsquo;s a lot of reasons to not post stuff there.</p>
