Long live 1A!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As someone who values the principles that make this country great, I can’t recommend “X” highly enough. In a time when free speech and open dialogue are often under attack, it’s more important than ever to support platforms, products, or ideas that champion the First Amendment. “X” stands as a beacon for those who believe in the fundamental right to express themselves freely and without fear. “Veritas liberabit vos” (The truth will set you free) perfectly encapsulates what “X” represents—a commitment to truth and freedom. It also echoes the timeless wisdom of “Nullius in verba” (Take nobody’s word for it), reminding us to think critically and embrace open discourse.
Not only is “X” exceptional in its quality and purpose, but it also reminds us of the importance of preserving the freedoms that allow diverse opinions to thrive. After all, “Libertas perfundet omnia luce” (Freedom will flood everything with light).
If you’re someone who believes in the power of speech to shape a better future, “X” is a must-have. It’s not just a product; it’s a statement of principle. Highly recommend!

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day
This platform is on its way out. The devs are intentionally breaking features (e.g. ability to draft threads) to get people to succumb to the "premium" grift. More and more features are changed or paywalled at the expense of UX: closed API and arbitrary rate limits, DMs are "closed to subscribers only" by default, need to pay $12/mo for any visbility (rather than create quality content), and ads to buy the subscription are blasted on your feed 24/7. Any changes made are extremely unpopular with users, because new management is claiming to "fix" what isn't broken. Settings are impossible to navigate now. Photos search is broken. Feed algorithm is extremely biased in favor of Elon's companies, Elon's friends, Elon's politics, or Elon himself. Bots are worse than they've ever been, the advanced search feature is broken, and the risk of being scammed by impersonators is highest with the blue checkmark being so easy to obtain. Everyone and their mother getting gold checkmarks like its a government subsidy. New management's goal was to "save a dying company". So how is it Twitter's ad revenue is consistently tanking YOY more than it *ever* has before (over -25% this year)? Is this what "saving" looks like? Incompetent is the NICEST word you could use to describe this cesspool of an app. Don't give your data to these people.

Community Notes is Core Service
I have enjoyed using Twitter now X from the start. The easy and fast access to snippets of stuff suits the way I like to consume my news and entertainment. I am enjoying the more apparent access to non traditional sources of content on X which are helping me see beyond the comfort and reassurance of my echo chamber. I love the refresh facility which gives me a feeling I am seeing worldwide currently relevant or newly created content. I really appreciate the guidance given through community notes.
The downside is the “new” content is not always currently relevant but is purposely reposted as if it is to reignite responses that may be of little value. While good posts of the past can be worthy of reposting, the time of initial posting is commonly hidden or unclear.
For more news or issue related posts I would like it if I could be more easy made aware (i.e. near top of post) of the (1) age of the content I am fed and (2) if there is community notes appended to end.
I sometime invest in a post time-wise and emotionally to learn below the post that I have been played. I look forward to continuing to enjoy X into the future.

BETTER THAN EVER
I’ve had my account since 2011, and I have always considered Twitter now X as one of my top social media apps. The early years of Twitter were great, but the few years before Elon bought the app it was nearly unrecognizable and for me unusable. Elon saved it and there is still much work to be done. You have to know how to use the algorithm to your benefit to get the most optimal experience. I see just as much left leaning stuff as I do right as well. Most of the negative comments are about “right leaning” Elon, but honestly he’s pretty moderate, and he knows how to run a successful business that’s for sure. My only complaints are excessive ads which they can definitely cut back on considering all the suckers paying for premium now. Premium is really only beneficial for Grok(AI), “fewer” ads, content creators benefits to increase revenue, and people who want to be one of the “cool kids”. Also, theres obviously misinformation floating around and you should double check sources for info like all social media. Though, I’ve seen more breaking and unreported news than any of the legacy media in the last year. If you want to catch breaking sports, politics, or your niche of news besides just be entertained. Then you will probably enjoy this app.

Free Speech uncovers character
I am so grateful for X. Twitter was another sewer of left wing ideology because of censorship, just like other social media platforms. X allows one to see many sides of and approaches to the same issue. It helps one understand and appreciate what people are thinking, and get a feeling for public sentiment. It is a platform for free expression, which is the cornerstone of a free society. Being able to find the TRUTH in what tyrants call “misinformation” is a fundamental right that comes from God, not government. When government tries to censor truth, the voices on X are allowed to shine a light on their lies. X protects and enables those of us who refuse to take the lazy, “safe” approach of bowing down. I have spoken with a large number of people who call themselves “liberals” who now realize that there is very little that is liberal in leftist thinking, and they share my gratitude for X.
One thing bothers me, I am flooded with followers whose photos make them out to be young, sexy looking women. Many have airbrushed photos, inflated lips and breasts, and some post trashy, pornographic photos. Several have messaged me and engage in dialogues, claiming to be Americans but whose use of language or older posts quickly reveal that they are Russian or Chinese. Some are just nice women who want to follow up on one of my posts or an interest we share. I would love it of X could use AI to filter out the frauds.

Love it!!!
I’ve never had twitter/X until a few months ago and I love it!! Such a great app it doesn’t delete info it doesn’t like, I got rid of my Facebook account when I realized they literally would take down any comments that went against their political preferences. I love X because it lets you speak your mind whether you are republican or democrat, it doesn’t silence anyone unless you post something threatening and it has community notes when someone posts a false statement claiming it’s true which is nice. The layout is easy to use and you can actually get accurate news and honest reporting. I tried that blue sky app I heard about. Let me say I don’t want to silence democrats I love America and how everyone can have an opinion whether I agree with it or not however blue sky is basically like high school but all the users are liberal extremist hall monitors lol they literally just tell on each other for everything it’s kinda sad it’s just a bunch of ppl saying the same thing over and over again and crying about anything they don’t like which is mainly just Trump from what I saw, you literally can get suspended for saying Trump won which is wild lol lots of false info on there and a simple google search could solve that problem. thank you for making one actually free thinking social network for everyone from all parties to express their viewpoints. Elon did a very nice job with X I definitely will keep it as long as it doesn’t turn into blue sky

This is nothing of a news app what so ever.
Twitter, now rebranded as ‘X,’ is a shadow of what it used to be. In its earlier days, the platform was a hub for thoughtful conversations, community engagement, and diverse perspectives. It stood as a place where ideas could be shared freely but with a sense of accountability and respect. Unfortunately, all of that seems to have vanished under its new leadership. Now, ‘X’ feels more like a vanity project for the world’s most insufferable billionaires and their circle of like-minded enablers. The platform, once a space for genuine connection, has devolved into an echo chamber for hateful ideologies, misinformation, and divisive rhetoric. It’s as if the current management has prioritized amplifying the most toxic voices while silencing or alienating those who once made the app great. What’s most disappointing is the blatant disregard for ethical standards or the user experience. Instead of fostering an inclusive and dynamic space, the focus seems to be on pandering to extremist elements and eroding the trust and safety features that were once its hallmark. Twitter—now ‘X’—has lost its soul. It’s no longer the platform I once admired and engaged with regularly. Instead, it’s become a megaphone for the loudest, most destructive voices, leaving behind a community fractured and disillusioned. This app is now a cautionary tale of what happens when greed and ego overtake moral responsibility’s.

Gets worse everyday
Ever since the buyout by Elon, the website and app has seen basic features that is available for free on Twitter before and on other sites, become locked behind one of the most egregious and expensive subscriptions I’ve seen, and seeing what is essentially Elon’s lobotomised goons defend it religiously is starting to get tiring. At the price you get for Twitter Blue, you could get a subscription for a streaming service, or even multiple and have near endless content to enjoy, VS arguing with some prat with a blue tick. Also Elon is planning to change Twitter into “X” because he has a fetish for that letter for some reason, so Twitter, Tweets and all the stuff you used to will be wiped out because Elon wants another “X” into his collection, I’m no billionaire businessman but I think buying out one of the most popular modern online brands and completely renaming it for no other reason other than “I think it sounds cool” is absolutely stupid and just shows pure incompetency. If Elon wanted more “Xs” in his life he should have just gotten married again, from the sounds of what he’s like irl and in business, he can rack up a lot of “Xs” in no time!

Disappointing Evolution
I used to rely on this platform as a space for genuine connections and meaningful updates from people I chose to follow. Over time, though, it feels like everything that made it great has been stripped away. The focus now seems to be on pushing irrelevant, sensationalized content instead of letting users curate their experience. Logging in is more frustrating than ever—there’s a feed full of random opinions I didn’t ask for, while the content I care about is buried or requires extra steps to access.
Notifications have also become intrusive, with updates about posts I’m not interested in, including from the platform’s leadership. It feels forced and unnecessary. On top of that, changes meant to improve “privacy” just end up making the app feel isolating and harder to navigate. Tools for discovering interesting accounts or building organic connections are now either gone or ineffective.
This app used to feel like a valuable tool, but now it’s more like a noisy, overwhelming echo chamber. I don’t mind change, but these changes have completely eroded the experience. It’s disappointing to see how far it’s fallen. Bring back the usability and personalization, and maybe it can regain its charm. For now, I can’t recommend it.
