X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans film
techcrunch.com
Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
We've got it blocked at our router. The DNS server just responds with no such address.
Hijacking twitter DNS queries and redirecting to a page that only serves images of cats.

Cats?? On the internet?!
You are the hero we need! ❤️
It cleanly didn't block this post.
Yes. Because this post is not on twitter. It's on a site called lemmy.world. I don't think it even looks like twitter?
If you want no mention of twitter or the musky chodelet, I recommend Connect, a Lemmy app for Android. It features a keyword block list, so you can add as many twitter related keywords as you need.
Upvote for “musky chodelet”, boost for helpful advice!
I thought that's more what the original comment was asking for, maybe I misinterpreted. Ps. Sorry for wasting your time explaining things I already know by not clarifying my sarcasm, but you helped someone else so it worked out alright.
I'm sure there's an addon for Firefox if you're really inclined.
