Twitter/X revised TOS causing a stir

I gave up on tw@tter and fakebook.....too much garbage to sort through, and it's difficult to keep up with much of anything, especially being a photographer....I don't have time to chase (build) much of a following.....I have better things to do.
 
The only surprise here is that this kind of thing comes as a surprise to some Twitter users. Ever since Musk bought the company out it has bent to total disinformation and amplifies things towards his increasingly fringe political views. So much for Mr Free Speech! Still, he has lost 15% of users, watched ad revenues plummet, and shrunk its value by 79%, so that's a win I am sure! Most clients at work now have miniscule engagement on the platform and my reccomendation is going to be to close those accounts.
 
The whole algorithmic feed thing has ruined social media. These platforms were originally formed as a way to interact with a trusted network. I haven’t spent time on X for years, so I’m not familiar with how to change back to chronological following as Brett describes. I don’t spend much time on Facebook either. I do spend time on Instagram and LinkedIn - do these platforms even have the legacy chronological feed option? I get far more “suggested for you” posts on IG than from anyone I have actually chosen to follow, which is very frustrating. LinkedIn is similar, which is even more frustrating because it’s my business network that I want to see my posts; it does nothing for me if some random person sees it. LinkedIn is for business, so in my view “going viral” should not be an objective on that platform. Anyone needing a new CFO is going to do their research, not pick the one that most recently had a post go viral.
