I only use Twitter for sports news and updates that basically don’t exist anywhere else. It would be unfortunate if they destroy the platform with crap like this.

Really? What's your secret to avoiding the incessant only fans bots?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dunno, I guess the fact that I've never been very active on Twitter. I use it occasionally and reply to the odd thread, but I never even knew only fans bots was a thing there.

I've used Twitter off and on for a while to follow artists who post there, and my dms are full of only fans spam and crypto scams

I checked my settings after I heard this yesterday and they were unchanged.
