it's too bad that people treat PS as a front end for X and facebook

Well here's the thing: X (and when it was called Twitter) is now THE main "public square" for general discourse. Most people don't read actual physical paper newspapers anymore for their news, and fewer and fewer are watching TV for their news. They get it on the run on social media platforms of which X is by far the dominant one, and then not only can they get the latest news, they can interactively engage with it themselves in real time, unlike newspapers or TV broadcasts. It's a revolutionary change.
In the past, to engage with the news, I had to type a paper letter to "the editor" of a newspaper and then hope they pick mine out of dozens or hundreds to print several days later. Now, I can publish my opinion about a news event within seconds of it being posted.
Furthermore, we are no longer at the mercy of a few corporate gatekeepers who filtered our news to fit their agenda. In the early days of internet social media, it was mostly free and uncensored but the Federal Government infiltrated it and we ended up with a Twitter as biased and censored as any legacy media source ever was if not more.
Then came Elon. I cannot overstate the importance of that man. He brought X back to a more or less free speech arena. It's not perfect (he does need to keep corporate sponsors happy) but it's the best we have right now. It is by far the largest and most important source of information and engagement we have.
I understand the reluctance to get on X, believe me. I'm an old curmudgeon who hates change. But there are some changes one does well to force oneself to go along with, or one finds oneself excluded from society.
X presents a large and broad assortment of news but only on a superficial level. There are links to articles you must use to gain deeper understanding. One weakness of this system is too few people bother to do that and so tend to jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story, and both right and left are guilty of this.
But PS isn't choosing to promote X. We just are linking to X because that's now the main source of on-the-fly up to date current events. It is what it is.

Yea, but people here won’t post a description of what’s contained in the link, and it waste precious seconds to actually click the link.

I think his problem is you can no longer see the post if you don't have an account on X. Used to be you could. He refuses to make an account although it costs nothing. I can understand: I refuse to make a YouTube account. But YouTube is still corrupt and censorious, X has become (mostly) pro- free speech. In my calculation that makes the benefits of an X account outweigh the cost, as long as you manage your time on it properly which I confess I sometimes have a problem doing.

I don’t have an x (twitter) account. The links posted anyone can see.
We have a few here that get butt hurt if a link is posted without a complete description of what’s contained.

Really? They don’t work for me if I’m not logged in. Or before I made an account, although it’s been a while since I tested it. Maybe they changed it back?

we certainly have some that get butt hurt if anyone has the audiacity to not worship their "contributions" to PS.

Now why did you have to go fuck up a perfectly good post by saying that?
I do see your points and they are mostly valid. But the part about being able to comment on a tweet within seconds is great, except when about a thousand people are posting and referencing other posts and I can't keep up with the flow or of who is calling who an idiot.

"URGENT: Scientist whose previous work included directed energy beam research for the US intelligence community said Biden's symptoms during the CNN debate made him think of the Havana Syndrome.
This is according to former KGB spy Yuri Shvets who defected to the US in 1993."

Okay the algorithms controlling what you see and who sees what you say are a whole other topic beyond the scope of the point I was trying to make. And you are right, there is SO much information streaming by so fast that presents a problem opposite of the one where people did not have enough access to enough information.

Now we can call the real Fascist, Biden, the Mango Mussolini.
Lol! Right Mikey? Lurking again, huh. Like that creature from Lord of the Rings.
