he website formerly known as Twitter seems to be interfering with links to The New York Times, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and Substack to make them load noticeably slower..
It's called free speech, no fast speech /s
Why are people still using this dumpster fire?
The big companies and official government accounts refuse to move, and the only real alternative is Facebook, which comes with its own set of issues. Plus, users in foreign countries like Asia aren't involved in US politics and debate and haven't noticed any real changes except that big, stupid X.
It's mostly political content that's filled with right wing trolls and paid nation state bot runners. If you're in more obscure communities that Russia / China / Right wing corpos aren't interested in, it's just business as usual.
