I've not deleted my account but I have logged out on the website and closed the tab (deleted the app ages ago). Hoping that helps. This is what I've done too. Only got Instagram now. Unless reddit counts. It's just too much constant bullshit.

Believe Twitter has it so that it will purposefully direct things you dont like or disagree with onto your For You section in the hope you'll engage with it and drive interest. It really is just getting worse and worse. My For You section is pushing a lot of political hot topics at me and the negativity is everywhere, in spite of me clicking the buttons saying I don't like this. It's even pushing all these hot takes and negativity around things that I do enjoy like games or TV shows I'm watching or expressed interest in as if trying to reinforce everything I like is bad and I should feel bad.. Reading these posts is making me feel like getting away from it too and moving elsewhere, but it's just I have friends that use it too that wont move and Bluesky etc isn't quite the same yet.

It hasn’t done it in while, but sometimes it switches to the For You section at random. A couple months ago I was sitting in a restaurant and wanted to show like a funny cat video to my little niece, it opens the For You section and the first tweet is a scantily clad lady.

Obviously we don’t know anything about him other than being 17 and Welsh…. Don’t worry, the Torygraph is on the case, ferreting out the most important information: …”moved to the Southport area with his Rwandan parents when he was six” I think that's wrong. I read that he was born in the UK (to Rwandan parents)

"From Cardiff and moved to the Southport area with his Rwandan parents when he was six" - can't for the life of me think why the Telegraph would have chosen to form the sentence that way.

I think I’m going to have to disengage with the news again for a bit to be honest.
This is awful enough as it is but have just seen Starmer paying respects whilst some bloke, possibly one of the fathers, blathers on and on about what are you going to do to protect our children, comments underneath full of crap about it somehow being the party’s fault, they’ve been in power less than a month and this isn’t some school shooter incident.
The implications are clear.
Meanwhile, my local FB group is full of rich pensioners spouting bile about the winter fuel shite, stating that their money is being sent abroad or to immigrants, bemoaning those that get handouts whilst simultaneously cry wanking that they themselves won’t get a handout.
Said it before and will say it again, fuck this country. Or rather half the population of this country.

I’d avoided the social media and comments commentary until just now but apparently its all Starmer’s fault for flooding the area and country with immigrants? Absolutely rank of racists to use this to stir up divisions and exploit the emotional trauma of these families. Yaxley-Lennon might be fleeing the law but looks like his tactics live on.

I mean racists rarely pass up a good opportunity to be racist and it's even worse that the first thing people go to whenever there's a mass murder of this type is to speculate what race the killer is.

She'll be picked up on Friday evening because the head of tipstaff, Mr Cheesely is a proper bastard and likes to both have them in the cells for the weekend and give the Official Receiver a Monday morning headache

I fucking hate those that attack Price. She is fucked up. Her mistakes only get in the news because of who she is. And it is a distraction from serious shit. When I was a mid at the ONM site, no power to ban, just make a point, I went off the rails after there was a pile on about Anna Nicole-Smith passing. She might not have been a great human being. But she left a family and kids, and if you take joy in that, then you are a cunt. I stay away from most media sites. They incite arseholes that think a stabbing is somehow the fault of illegal immigration’s tiny percentage of what happens. They will fuck me off telling me the mainstream media cannot be trusted with the truth, then hide behind a single source, as if that is gospel. Which, technically, it is. Gospel being a point of view. But fuck me, they are cunts, including my new boss. She seems fine, but she is playing to an audience that I am not part of when she goes for small talk.

To be fair constantly getting away with drunk driving then continuing to be allowed to drive seems a bit much? Add in all the times her treatments been a bit ‘lax’er than the norm and it looks like two tier justice. She’s had chances.

If that was brown people doing that in Southport, social media would be going ballistic. I'm fully expecting a wave of they were justified as nothing is being done posts tomorrow.
Hope the police get in there and stamp on their heads because apparently that's them being heroes in a situation as dangerous as this 😂

So now the right wingers have an issue with Rwanda. Thought they loved that country.

Hottest day of the year and a police van is on fire. Violence goes up in the hot weather, just the excuse for it changes like the wind.

The sad reality is the UK has become just as binary and divided as the States. Mainly working class people manipulated along racial, religious, and Brexit lines to act against their own interests. I genuinely couldn’t believe Labour got in.
I know he’s a dirty word but I acutely remember under Blair and into Brown when ‘PC’ was sort of prominent, and it was the first time I was becoming aware of my language and stuff. It seemed the world was becoming a bit kinder then - although I did work in a welfare rights department which was as you’d imagine somewhat left wing. Maybe I was insulated.
But I don’t know what’s happened then. Yes I did encounter racists and bigots of other brands, but crucially they’d be *aware it was considered bad* and might not even smash somebody’s face in if corrected.
It was that Bigotgate moment with Brown that started giving people a pardon to drop their mask I reckon, and it was right around then that the Beeb seemed to start this batshit stance of giving weight to both sides to look ‘neutral’. And it had to start in fucking Rochdale didn’t it.

Just seen some Facey comments from actual reasonable types on this. Rent-a-mob apparently and not many locals.
My partner remarked that the emergency services have to deal with that the day after doubtless some of them will have been dealing with the horror from the day before. Whatever you currently think of the polis, fair point well made I think.
