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.

Unfortunately the alternatives aren't much better. Bluesky now does the same BS where they demand an account if you just want to read replies to a tweet or whatever they call that at bluesky.

And there is no bskycancel.com yet.

A bigger problem with BS is the rabid and - to use a phrase often used by them - toxic user base which seems to derive energy from pouring its frenzied opinions on whatever Trump, Musk and those in their general surroundings are supposed to be guilty of. If there was ever a case of the pot telling the kettle it is black it is the b.s. pouring out of a substantial fraction of the denizens of BS who have turned the place into what they accuse X of being and then some.

What have they turned it into? Be specific. You say it turned into "what they accuse X of being" but I don't know what that is.

They turned what was supposed to be a refuge from the 'hate' and 'toxic ${subject}' of Musk-owned X into a hive of 'hate' and 'toxic ${subject}', the only difference being that on BS the 'hate' and 'toxicity' is aimed at X, Musk, Trump and those who dare to trespass outside of the desired narrative of the day. BS is for the 'left' what e.g. Gab is for the 'right': an outpost for the looney fringe. On both Gab as well as BS you may be able to find some areas which are not suffused with ideologically driven discourse but that is the exception to the rule.

If you're a happy participant of BS I wish you good luck. If you're not using the site/service yet but plan to do so I advice you to have a good look around the place before you commit too much time and effort in it.
