Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no “issues”; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox’s container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it’s disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

    I deleted my 2007-era Twitter account in 2022 and not once have I felt like I was missing out on any “info” or felt like I wasn’t able to share things.

      I’ve never had a Twitter account and never felt the need for one, also haven’t been missing out on that junk. I’ve read lots of tweets, on occasions when I was offered a twitter link for whatever, but just never felt like I needed to join up at all. Just seems like a waste of time to get on social media where all the posts are just small bits of opinionated content without much depth.

      Well how could you feel that way when you don’t even know what you’re missing out on?

      I have over 1200 users and communities blocked on Lemmy as well as dozens of word filters that hide content from me. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything either but I know I’m - it’s by design.

        Saying “I’ve never once felt that I was missing out” is not the same as saying “I know I’m not missing out.” You seem to be addressing the latter when I said the former.

        I feel that way because it’s how I feel.
