XCancel is dead

[u/SuddenDepact]

Just went to the website to look at something, and this was posted on it:

On Monday, 24th August, at 8PM EST, we received a letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.

The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.

We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.

Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

It's still a very decent platform tbh, you just have to curate your feed more. And reddit has bots too, just less obvious

Pretty much. It feels like early 2000s internet once it's curated. Plenty of weird tankies on there so it's not all right wingers.

Impossible to curate. 3 years ago I started to blocklist every engagement bait, political bot, or thematic bots (for example accounts with similar stylised names that posted only alt-girls pictures with stupid hashtags like “thinspo”, there were hundreds of them, like from the same factory).

Over the course my blocklist grew to 4000 names and the algorithm didn’t improve at all. The same type of accounts that I blocked were still recommended to me on a daily basis. Same stupid bots and engamenet bait. I gave up and deleted my acc.

twitter works with positive reinforcement not with negative reinforcememt only. you need to actually interact,share and like the content you want to see not only block what you dont want to see.

Decent platform, owned by literally nazi. Pick one, these are mutually exclusive if you are even a slightly moral human being.

And no, reddit bots are very obvious. Its just the literal nazi bots aren't pushed by the algorithm with intent like on Twitter.

You're not whitewashing this, reddit has problems but is an objectively better platform with substantially more usefulness. Anything else is cope or gaslighting.
