I think the ultimate power combo would be Nostr on https://geminiprotocol.net/ & https://gopher.fyi/

I am increasingly feeling this way about links to X too... Too much slop & too many psyops to be hygenic *in most cases*.

I agree, but I would like to note that Images are implemented using links, so you'd want to describe the image using text.

my problem right now is that i cant decide who is a bot and who is an actual person with actual opinions, i can easily avoid clicking on mainstream media links by not doing it lol
