I'm a very passive user, which helps - never post, "like" anything or follow anyone, but I've grown a somewhat overdeveloped blocking finger.

My experience is none the worse for not seeing Musk's gibberings and those of the accounts he favours on a regular basis. At times, Twitter can even seem wholesome for me! I do get some backwash about it from some of the decent accounts I check out, but less than I see on DU on a regular basis, and often quite funny and savage.

Musk has gotten trickier about blocking ads, though. Initially, you could just block any ad account that appeared in replies etc. and that was it done. Then he imposed a nag pop-up "inviting" you to subscribe to a blue tick each time you blocked an ad, imposing another click to tell it to go away. Now he's added the trick that if you block an ad in replies, you get bounced to the OP at the top and also have to click "Fuck off, Musky, in your dreams, innit" at the subscribe nag pop-up.

It doesn't exactly promote goodwill, either towards him or the advertisers (some of which are actually causes I might otherwise support, though I'd rather they didn't waste their money advertising on Twitter, so I'd have previously blocked them anyway in the hope of saving them some cash).
