x.com this morning.

I use Pi-Hole on my internal home network. https://pi-hole.net/ Its a network wide ad blocking system that allows you to control most ads and customize a block list.

I hear people saying they shouldn't have to be forced to leave twitter. I'm not buying that argument. Twitter/X is owned by a scumbag. If you continue to use it you are essentially supporting Elon Musk. Its time to have some backbone and pull the plug and move on.

You still have a choice at this point. Use something else.
