I deleted my Twitter right before Elon bought it.

Aside from political or social reasons, X is a terrible platform.

More often than not, I get a blank page, something didn't load.

If I get content, it's (randomly) behind a registration-wall.

Or it shows confusing cookie banners that half the time don't even work. (Dev console full of js errors)

So I don't even bother anymore. This service is technically so fragile and unstable, it's not worth the click.

Aside from how it's socially and businesswise broken. Because I have looked into some of the errors and issues and they'll only occur for "anonymous users" and not for twitter users. They're oftencaused by (normal vanilla) adblockers or privacy protection.

So I dare say they're either malicious, deliberate. Or lack of interest/resources for non-registered and/or privacy-aware users

I find the combination of a Grok button on every post to real time fact check it, along with eventual notifications when a Community Note is added to something you previously interacted with goes a long way to making it the most trustable of all social media platforms.

I don’t see any similar attempts to transparently live fact check on any other platform.

Why does "a Grok button on every post to real time fact check it" increase your trust, given the obvious and open control Musk has over it? When Grok disagreed with him, he kept saying they'd "fix" it, and that's not to mention that infamous "white genocide" issue. It's undeniable that Musk is using his control to align Grok with his own opinions.

How does that not decrease your trust? I can't understand the thought process.
