why do i have to write out a post and type in a hashtag to search. i guess i could use the search function and then choose to search that hashtag but its ... not quite as elegant as i could be or ... is it.

hm.

#hashtag
#twisters

eh.

i don't know what to type

fictional observer: what do you want to type

me: i want to type like, whatever i want

fictional observer: what would that be

me: um...i guess i'm typing about how i'd like mastodon search to be better

fictional observer: better?

me: i guess i'm thinking of how twitter search used to be. i say "used to be" because twitter had less spam back in the day and now we cannot leave our accounts unlocked because there's so much spam that if we leave our twitter account unlocked then we'll get about 10 new spam accounts following us per week which is annoying

draft - i feel like the bots have basically killed twitter. what was once an open platform where things could be searched and discussed, is now more closed because, well, i can't have my profile be open if it means i'm gonna just be followed by spam accounts. they should make a way to make it so you can leave your account "searchable" but still make it so you have to approve new followers right?

I tweet one mild, sarcastic comment about Twitter sending random spam policy violation notices to people, and suddenly Forbes magazine, journal of record for rich pillocks, reckons I’m one of Elon Musk’s “Chief Critics”. #Twitter #ElonMusk #Twitterspam

Alors ça c'est nouveau... Je n'avais jamais eu droit à des messages de spam de ce genre sur mon compte Twitter que j'ai tout de même utilisé pendant 13 ans !

Est-ce un effet des licenciements massifs décidés par #ElonMusk avec pour conséquence des boucliers moins efficaces contre ce genre de publications (plus personne pour les mettre à jour peut-être) ? 🤔 #TwitterSpam #spam

Who else is suddenly getting tons of spam on the email you use for Twitter?

New #twitterspam strategy, block everyone involved. block the included messsage sender. report the sender. remove self from conversation. mute converstation. block sender.

I am getting as much as one spam per day right now into my Twitter DMs - most likely from bots, I suspect.

This has been getting worse since 2 weeks ago. Since November, more spam per day gets through that used to get through per year on my Twitter account.

My Twitter Timeline right now:

3 tweets from accounts I follow
1 sponsored post
(Repeat)

Twitter is definitely making efforts to push people to other platforms.

#twitterspam

I’m getting this #Twitter DM 2-3 times per week. All from new accounts. This one went to 53 people.

This spam began AFTER Musk fired the first round of employees. Nothing like this before the #Takeover.

MOREOVER, reporting the spam does nothing to the person who sent it.

You have to MANUALLY block the account.

The wheels are falling off the bus, which makes me sad and POed at the same time. 😕 🤬

EM “free speech” is toxic. #TwitterSpam

I just cleared out another couple spam DMs, which made me realize, I've cleared out more of those some Elon took over than I have in years on Twitter. But please, tell me again how Elon is making #Twitter great again. #BirdSite #TwitterSpam #sigh
