Clean way to open / #X to cross post links, without having to stumble upon any Tweet or without seeing the timeline:

  • Origin
  • Element Picker: highlight and click the border between side menu and timeline
  • Click Create
  • Now when you open Twitter it will always be plain white
  • You can open the Compose URL (/compose/post), cross post and begone.

Empty, no timeline in sight.

If the Timeline appears again someday, just repeat the process to pick up the new CSS classes.

It's possible to go further and hide the menu as well, thus hiding Notification numbers, having a completely white screen when posting.

But then the only way to access the compose modal is via the direct URL: /compose/post

Beautiful!

Now my / #X account is just a link dump account - for those like me who still want to show their followers from there with their content (4k followers for me) but do not want to interact at all with the toxic timeline/baits/bots/w.e.

How come most social-media "content" now comes down to things like this?

"THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! IT IS GOING TO DISRUPT SOCIAL MEDIA FOREVER! 🚨🤯 Open the thread to have your mind blown with these new changes 👇🧵"

🤮 🤢 This is the kind of engagement bait that I want to erase forever from my life.

It's the kind of thing that my uBlock hack/filter allows hiding.
