The big loser in this election is the legacy media, it is dead. Look at Jeff Bezos who owns the WaPo, Patrick Soon-Shiong who owns the L.A Times- they are firing editorial staff to make their publications more conservative. CNN- Chris Wallace is gone with no job in sight, and others will be fired. They bought into the woke politics of the last four years and now realized they fucked up.

I don't engage in social media. I'm interested in joining X. I see on the phone app that it allows for 3 ways - google account (email?), apple account or create an X account.

Is there a recommended way to join X? I'll probably access on phone and on PC. I'm thinking I'd prefer to remain anonymous and not have to enter any info that is personally identifiable. Other than an (anonymous) email address, is this possible or will the account creation require something that identifies me? Or is it better to be identifiable for some reason?

^^ Just 'create an X account'...You'll be fine!

I'm considering joining X as well. In creating an "X" account does one use their real name and information?

Nope

You can create a username and you don't have to use your real name. In fact I'd NEVER use my real name on Twitter.

^^ You can use/create whatever Name and User Name for your account you'd prefer. You can provide any bio info you'd like to for your profile, or provide none at all. The listed name and bio info in your Public Profile can be edited at any time you'd like should you desire to do so. It's been several years since I created an account on 'X', but as I recall, SIGforum currently requires more info/verification for an account the 'X' does, so you'll be fine regardless.

Thank you, signing up now.

suggest going through all the privacy and preference settings and disable as you desire. especially access to device contact lists. I disabled a lot of stuff....
