bbslutuk Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago I was holding out for the UK changes to be reversed ... but they look here to stay. Got a VPN and it seems to be working fine accessing this site again! 😁 Quote
pupHawaii Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago i've heard from a couple of followers in the UK and EU .. i'm hearing that on twitter - unless you pay for the blue checkmark - you're not going to see any NSFW .. VPN or no VPN .. no NSFW without paying for the blue checkmark .. AND you'll only see NSFW if the account you're looking at has a bluecheck too! (i haven't been able to verify that yet) .. i don't think this applies in the US yet - cuz i'm still seeing NSFW posts on US guys who don't have a blue checkmark .. what I do see is that my UK daily followers have dropped from about 3.9% to 3% in the past week .. and my overall follower numbers from all over are dropping every night .. many have said (roughly) stop supporting Musk and twitter .. not that easy to leave twitter .. none of my accounts anywhere are monetized - i make no money, i don't accept tips or gifts .. so i'm not staying for that reason .. but i do mainly repost others to help them get more followers and help them earn more money - for some it's their main source of employment .. so while leaving wouldn't hurt me monetarily - i don't want to walk away from others i've been helping .. and the alternatives are slim pickings .. tumblr - they can't make up their mind what they allow or don't allow .. bsky/bluesky has about 37m users now - about 10% of twitter .. and the new imaglr.com has just over 20k followers .. so leaving twitter means i leave a lot of users i've been helping behind .. not saying i'm never leaving twitter .. just not right now ..
