This is generally sad.

People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it.

Depending on things we hate is a tragedy.

How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life.

Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.

I hate X, its anti-user patterns and how its oligarch owner uses it to manipulate discourse to steer society towards his right-wing extremist views.

That being said, many public figures have not made the same judgement and post their communications there.

Should I just stop informing myself on the public discourse because the place it happens got taken over by a shady character?

I think using code to liberate the discourse from its would-be manipulator is the most reasonable thing to do and a reflection of true hacker ethics.

>>saubei+L5
Your "true hacker ethics" results in the person still using X to distribute information, so you're actually powering the popularity of X.

I can't control what other people do, unfortunately. But I can choose to engage on my own terms.
