Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

      Yes. Because this post is not on twitter. It’s on a site called lemmy.world. I don’t think it even looks like twitter?

      If you want no mention of twitter or the musky chodelet, I recommend Connect, a Lemmy app for Android. It features a keyword block list, so you can add as many twitter related keywords as you need.

        I thought that’s more what the original comment was asking for, maybe I misinterpreted. Ps. Sorry for wasting your time explaining things I already know by not clarifying my sarcasm, but you helped someone else so it worked out alright.
