nibor48775yTwitter is only useful for reading the great Trump's policy announcements although there is an under current of porn which is interesting

ArchUser255y@nibor I was promised there would be kittens and boobs. As of now they can stick those kittens up their asses together while deepthroating on those phone numbers

Wait... You had peer pressure to create a Twitter account in 2019?!
Who are your peers? Senior citizens? -
I sent Twitter an email explaining whx I didn't want to procide my phone number. They unblocked my account and should never ask for my phone number ever again.

h4xx3r17165yHappened to me too.
Registered just for the sake to provide copyright infringement info to someone whose free work wasn't recognized properly like specified in the license and got blocked for the suspicious activities, then the phone number request followed and I stopped using Twitter.
About the copyright infringement... let's say that the booming startup dlive CEO can't respect licences despite being a video streaming service 🤣 -
Pff Shitter, Fecesbook and Instacrap. Naahh. Social networks suck, I'm anti-social. At best, I'd join a network full of anti-social assholes. D'oh.

If you want a more facebook-like experience, I can recommend you checking our Frendica or Diaspora :)
Youtube - there is peertube but it lacks content -
Kasonnara725y@noyb I don't know if there is a full list somewhere, however I can advise you to take a look at Framasoft's work, who aims to propose open and decentralized alternatives to most common closed source big services like google docs, facebook, etc. : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It was suspicious because you posted nothing. Didn't you know you're supposed to instantly create a profile with pics, and geo-coords and follow at least 30 people in your first hour? N00b
I finally gave in into the peer pressure and made myself a Twitter account.
WHAT A FUCKING SHIT SITE.
When registering the only thing I provided was my email and username. Nothing more.
One day later when visiting Twitter I get a big ass pop-up that briefly tells me my account is locked for 'unusual behavior', 'suspicious activity' and 'not following of Twitter's rules'.
I want to remind you that my account was barely one day old, and had no activity whatsoever.
So if getting your account locked for no single reason isn't bad enough. The only and ONLY way to unlock my account was TO PROVIDE MY FUCKING PHONE NUMBER. No other single way to unlock my account.
YOU WANT MY PERSONAL DATA SO BADLY?
On top of that I didn't receive a single email from them for this 'suspicious activity' or 'breaking of Twitter's rules'.
THIS IS SCAREWARE. Lying to people in order to get more personal data. My account was perfectly fine. And without providing your phone number you can't even delete your account.
GO FUCK YOURSELF FUCKING ASSHOLES WITH YOUR ASSHOLE DESIGN
FUCKING SHITSITE
