Hello fediverse, what are you suggestions to block all twitter/X connections from my computers ? I added fake IPs associated with the twitter domains to my `/etc/hosts` file on #linux Other propositions? What about other OSes (windows, osx, android)?
Facebook is an empire. An empire doesnt care about the human. You will be stamped on if you get in the way of the empire.
Humans should be the center, not the empire.

@Bunkunin Shannon Coulter @shannoncoulter on Twitter created a block list of companies (I believe advertisers) using a bot tool.
"The quickest, easiest way is to use a free tool called Bot Block by @oolon who gave new life to a tool called Block Together by Jacob Hoffman-Andrews. I have a custom block list on Bot Block to which you can subscribe w/ just a few clicks... It’s here: https://theblockbot.com/show-blocks/OLntUGaCZE_4mevqfUrMvBsriyyBdhaFoFrvjiG4.
Subscribing to my block list doesn't overrule your own." #BlockParty2022 #BlockTwitter
I'm so done with Twitter that I blocked them at the host level.
I don't want any site that may use their button or share, embedded tweets, etc, to track me. It's not a 100% block as they can use different coding on the websites server side but it is a start.
There are a lot of domains they use but here is a snippet of my now long host file.
I did this with Facebook years ago when I dumped them for good.
