There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.
There is no better time than right now to abandon Twitter. Make it useless. Worthless.
I know how hard it is to leave. Twitter was my drug of choice, but I couldn’t stay there in good conscience. We all do the best we can do. I have to shop at Walmart but I never visit Hobby Lobby or Chick Fil A. I boycott TSC which makes things difficult for farm needs. If you can leave, you should.
I also boycott Amazon, Apple, Walmart.
It was hard to leave until enough was enough
I found it easy to leave, staying away was the challenge. But I did it anyway ☺️
It just feels so good. I removed all of Fuckerberg's apps. First day was hard. I woke up 2nd day and didn't miss it an iota.
Add Amazon to your list of “avoids”
Boycott Amazon as well.
Eventually, all the politicians still there (even Repubs) will realize their digital reach is gone.
Yes, all should join us on Jan 19th for the great Xodus. Thanks for the heads up on TSC. It, too, will be difficult to leave. Without action, values are meaningless. corporate.tractorsupply.com/newsroom/new...
It's getting harder to find a place to shop, eat, or find a reliable cable news channel.
Ditch cable news. The Associated Press, Reuters, BBC, the Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg are about as unbiased as they come.
I deleted my account before Thanksgiving. However, I wish I had it to watch the recent blowout between Elon Musk and MAGA.
I made an app @cyd.social that makes it easy to abandon Twitter while keeping your username and letting your followers know where you went cyd.social/want-to-quit...
I'm trying to use it on my Mac, but it fails the 2FA. I use Google Authenticator. Works fine on the browser.
Please ignore... after a few attempts, now it's working
I've deleted over 1,400 tweets today. What's the time limit for exporting the X database?
What do you mean by the time limit? Like when you request your archive from X how long does it take for them to send it to you?
After creating the 1st archive it didn’t include all my tweets. When I try to create the second archive I get 0 tweets in it. I guess there is some kind of X interval limit for doing so?
I think I understand. So you're using Cyd and choosing "Build database from scratch". It scrolled through your profile and saved 1400 tweets, which you deleted? The issue is, X refuses to show you all your tweets. You'll need to "Import X archive" instead. See cyd.social/docs-buildin...
Great app, thanks!
Woohoo I can't see any of my tweets and replies but the profile stats show 1414 posts. Anyway now I need to get rid of my likes and that's it. x.com/maciej_warsaw
Alright. I've requested the archive ZIP file.
It is a couple of hours. I downloaded 10 years plus and then used the Redact app to delete everything and then closed my account.
TSC?
TCS = Tractor Supply Store
The farm store
Besides the farm co-op, is there a big box alternative to Tractor Supply? Rural King is even worse.
I left the minute I found Bluesky. Never been in a Hobby Lobby & I had to work hard to meet all of my farm needs elsewhere so I could dump TSC, but I did it. I’m so happy I did. Had a friend that worked there & heard horror stories of sexual harassment covered up by mgt.
TSC? That’s rough.
It really bugs me that so many good, talented and intelligent people are giving their hard earned money to Musk. And on top of it, I am sure that Musk doesn’t care about your privacy. He would sell or use your information in a NY minute for his personal gain.
Good call - Musk gave location information on dissidents to the Saudis, the compromised people are no longer posting on Twitter on account of being imprisoned or dead.
Also applies to Tesla. Tesla gathers a huge amount of data on owners. And we worry about TikTok and China.
Look who created bluesky and you think musk is a weirdo? 😁
Okay I give up. Who is it😢🫣
Dorsey,Jack Dorsey...
I still have an inactive account - I should post this there and then leave 😆
Spot on -- Meta and X are like crack .. we need to drop them ASAP! The disinformation onslaught was sophisticated AI driven marketing targeted at specific accounts and personal information. We need to depend on independent journalism, invest in it, raise it up.
You're such a hero. Puddinghead Joe should have given you a medal yesterday! I mean, it's SO BRAVE to not shop somewhere. Just for clarity, if I never go to a place, but it's because I don't need anything there, am I as brave as you?
I did at the beginning of December, and I am so glad I did.
My advice is keep your twitter handle so it cannot be abused by someone else pretending to be you. All the cool people are in bluer skies.
How can you do that when you deactivate?
Don't deactivate. Just keep your account alive by posting once in a while.
I'd love to abandon Walmart, but where I live, it's the cheapest place for groceries. That and Aldi's, but I can't get everything at Aldi's. I left Twitter when I got my invite to join up here and haven't regretted it. The people I liked there eventually moved here, so I haven't missed anything.
Same
Far too many people on this site continue to copy and paste Twitter garbage here. I've had to block and unfollow users who can't get it through their heads I don't want to see ANY tweets or Twitter content.
I stay only because Federal and State agencies use Twitter. I get information, but do not engage. I share information on other platforms. (I use a very effective ad blocker.)
It'll likely soon become state propaganda.
It sure doesn’t take long to get caught up any more. ;)
This is a nice drug Jess. My drug now.
I didn't find it very hard at all. Social media needs us, we should not need it in this addictive way.
Agree, Ryan. I actually feel so much better I deactivated and deleted.
*Josh
Def, when I stopped using in 2022 I realised we really don't need constant attachment to these apps. That's what they're trying to create but we don't have to give in.
no point in leaving it until this platform has a pulse
This. Exactly this. I had withdrawal when I left and realized how bad it all was. So much toxicity and neverending misinformation. Kills me when I see people talk about Hobby Lovby’s sales but will also never go there nor to Chick Fil A or Home Depot. Have you heard of the app Goods Unite Us?
Honey, that time was a year ago. The only reason you’re still there is your ego! You are helping a white supremacist and you need to fucking wake up.
I’ve left them all and 🤮 on Walmart. We don’t all have the luxury of choice but I do. I’ll go without before I give them my $
Got to say I have been fortunate to not shop at Walmart, Safeway is my next less frequent destination, never go to Hobby Lobby, never Chick Fill A-we can make our voices heard through commerce...also left FaceBook..that has been surprisingly easy..if someone wants to find me-they will
I stayed there thru the election simply to respond to stupid things my MOC Burchett posted, not that I hoped to influence him, but perhaps to show others how bad he is. Probably pointless. Decided I won't help Elon in any way, so left.
Better to leave the account open but unused — it craters their “engagement” level, which shareholders just love because ads then sell for less. 😄
Agreed‼️
Lots of other global news is still there, so I stay. But vastly less time since the options are now stark: half the tower of babel is gone
There's plenty of global news here. Don't put money in a Nazi's pocket. Not for any reason.
Well I haven’t completely shut down Chick-fil-A, it’s only about once every three months. Never Hobby lobby, never Home Depot, and never several businesses that I know are Trumper’s here in Omaha.
Is it better to en masse? Jan 6 or Jan 20?
That's what I was hoping, an en masse departure to make a statement and show of force. Which date?
Welcome home, Missouri neighbor. 💙🦋💙
Deactivated in Nov; and I was on Twitter from the very beginning (different handle). I deactivated and opened up a new account to preserve my handle. Maybe have one or 2 tweets. No one should support Musk, IMO. #GetOffX
Jess, serious question but why do you "have" to shop at Wal Mart? I seriously don't understand that.
This is a valid question. I live 25 miles from the nearest grocery stores. I can choose Walmart or HyVee. If you’re familiar with both stores, you know why folks like me still shop at Walmart. It’s all about cost. Hyvee groceries are often 1.5x what I’d spend on Walmart groceries.
I appreciate the response. I'm in CA so never heard of Hyvee but I get your point. I'm guessing Wal Mart essentially chased a # of other stores out of town. I'm in a suburb 20 m. NE of downtown Los Angeles so, yes, there are many, many choices at various price points & no reason to go to WM. Thx!
No more Walmart for me. Costco for anything I can't grow.
There's a Costco a short drive away. Haven't had a membership/shopped there in a very long time since I hate long lines and always found myself overspending. May reup our membership given current events-I'm now retired so could probably miss the long lines- just have to exercise some self restraint.
In terms of over-spending, the last time I went to our local Costco, I found myself seriously considering buying an electric/digital baby grand piano. That was my sign to not go back!
😆
Yes, very easy to overspend - self restraint works for me.... sometimes. 😜
Not everyone has the money to buy groceries somewhere else. Where I live, Aldi's and Walmart are the cheapest places. I get what I can at Aldi's, then get the rest at Walmart. If I could afford to shop elsewhere, I would.
😪
Some of us who live in rural areas have no other choice unless we drive a hundred miles to shop.
Has got to be so frustrating. I've only stepped foot in a WM maybe 2 or 3 times in the last 20 yrs (b/c they're the closest place with sewing supplies & I was in a rush), and it made it made me feel bad about myself every time.
I think Amazon is worse. I haven't heard of Walmart employees pissing in plastic bottles to stay on quota.
Delivery drivers have been pissing in bottles for a VERY long time. Ask any UPS driver. And let's just be honest about it, dudes like to whip it out and piss anywhere.
Yes, while making a living wage without public restrooms. But being forced to a piss in a jug, while working in a warehouse, with public restrooms, to make quota, is not the same at all.
"The Intercept show that at least some Amazon management teams were aware of the fact that employees ***and in particular, delivery drivers*** were urinating in water bottles and defecating in bags as a result of not having enough time to use a restroom." www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/up...
Going forward, I’ll be opening my parcels in hazmat gear.
It's like any addiction. You think you can't quit it...until you do.
I miss three parody accounts and their replies to the idiot Trumpers who think they are for real. They started my day off laughing. Other than that, it’s been easier than I expected.
I left Xitter right after the election and I haven’t missed it in the least
That's when I did too!
There were 8 grocery stores here before Walmart grocery opened. Now there are 3. I'm stubborn enough to not buy my groceries at Walmart. Smaller towns have been hurt even more by Walmart. It saddens me.
@
I'm running out of places to shop... we purchase weekly from a local farm co-op. I refuse to shop in Walmart or Publix. I definitely have a choice with social media. I'm a #TwitterQuitter. #EloonSux
I quit Twitter the day Musk took over. Then I quit as many problematic corporations and social media platforms as I possibly could. Unfortunately, I am stuck with one of the worst offenders... for now.
I left same day musk officially bought it too. It's difficult to sacrifice what u feel is important or valued. But u won't miss it. Like giving up energy drinks or most stuff we consume which is bad for us. No, seriously, most stuff we consume is bad for us 🫠
Agreed. I had already taken a hiatus from social media after the first MAGA administration. I was exhausted like so many; I didn't miss it much. Never regretted it, but with the return of the Felon, I was glad I'd found this platform...
13 years! So it’s still a habit but soon as I go there I see the most vile things and have to exit immediately It’s unfortunately that one man can destroy something I’ve held on to for so long.
Already left months ago.
It's not that hard to leave once you realise you are surrounded by Nazis. After ten years, it was the easiest thing in the world to leave that poisonous cesspit.
I have no problem leaving because they kick me off. Last time for posting the following on Republican legislator threads: Trump Trademarks www.businessinsider.com/trump-disclo...
Deactivating Xitter was the best feeling in the world... right up there with killing my old Facebook accounts.
Dropped that site after Elon started forcing trump ads to users. Done and not looking back. Most of the interesting accounts have moved here anyways, literally no reason to use that hellhole
I'm still using Elon's AI generator to manufacture anti-MAGA memes. But I don't shop at Walmart ever.
You can be an activist on climate change matters, or you can use GenAI. You can’t do both.
Hobby Lobby hurt. I loved that store. But I haven't been there or Chick Fil A in decades and intend to never, ever go again. Thanks to a stray chicken who showed up at my house in September and never left, now I have to buy feed from TSC.
Michael's is better and there are other craft stores.
I don’t go to any of these places. I’ve only been to Walmart once and it was years ago when I needed something immediately and it was the only store nearby.
I left. I was there before Musk took over. It was really the only outlet for discourse with others from all over, with different view points and knowledge. FB was more like a family and friends outlet. X has become a platform for its leader.
I’m getting ready to pull the plug!
I am astonished why people don’t vote with their feet. I have been boycotting products of some countries for the last four decades.
The problem is it is very popular globally so anything we do in the US is minor
Now if people would have the guts to delete theirAmazon accounts and never order through them again and delete Prime as well as all their Meta accounts (Facebook, instagram, messenger and whatsapp). I did
Looks like my current Kindle is going to be the last one.
#BitterTwitter
In all seriousness, it holds nothing, no reason to go there any more. The only possible pro it still has is maybe a more aggressive news-aggregating algorithm for news junkies. But even that just delivers redundant takes on the same content, more of a mild addiction-servicing. Drop X! #dropx
Yessssss!!!! 😈 The power is in OUR hands!!!!
Those little “share” widgets on websites still tend to only have FB and X options. This must change.
44 billion - down the drain - oh what a feeling.
It’s unfortunately nothing to him.
Not the money, but it's a huge blow to his oversized ego! The biggest egos are the most fragile!
Yes, I'm cool with his ego taking the hit.
I believe it’s definitely getting there! I do not se the majority of my friends anymore—I don’t know where they went, Perhaps Tribel (?) . I wish they’d come here !!
I can’t get back in to delete my account. Irony of ironies
Any reliable numbers on how many users they’ve lost?
Good morning sunshine ☀️ Happy Sunday my lovely friend ☀️♥️
Too late. It's been that way since Musk bought it.
Dead Internet Theory will be truly born on Twitter
Oh Jess I left the day it was sold #LeadershipMatters
It's been useless and worthless for quite some time.
I did it yesterday
Whoever is staying is fraternizing with and patronizing the enemy of truth, decency, national pride, and America’s Constitution.
Found you👏👏
I stop by once a week or so just to see if I’m missing following someone on 🦋 but it’s an absolute cesspool. It’s gotten so bad even elmo is panicking
(I don’t like or comment or interact in any way there)
Waiting for the mass exodus on Jan 20th. Then I'll deactivate en masse with a giant mob. Civil Disobedience! #CivilDisobedience
I left that sewage dump loony bin years ago, even before Little Elmo bought it.
Malcolm Nance is getting the word out!
It is. Useless and worthless. Muskrat’s mouthpiece.
Left it a few years ago. And Bookface.
Twitter did all the damage that was expected, muskrat thinks he owns us! He’s wrong!!
Was never there.
No, I can read about Ukraine-Muscovy war, I can read wise minds about politics in ,,X", but I find mushrooms, cats and stupid posts here, in Bsk.
"Wise minds?" I don't associate that with Twitter, never did. Do you have an example?
I like to read wise minds of many authors: героиня антиутопии @aaakkva, ОТЕЦ МАКСИМУС@MAXALEXHARDY, Leonid Nevzlin@Nevzlin, Чокнутый горнист 🇺🇦@Buggy__Bugler, восхищённый болгарин™@dedzaebal, Черный Абдулла@turkmendagz and many athers.
I'm not familiar with these authors... although I can read the Cyrillic alphabet, my Russian was never very good. There are many 'wise minds' now on Bluesky although they do tend to write in English. I'm not going back to Twitter, it has become a cesspool of the extreme right.
I left Twitter the day Musk bought it. No regrets.
Me too! As soon as I heard he was going to buy it, I deactivated my account.
Been saying it since i came here. Be on twitter get the shitter.
I got the last ban hammer swung at me 2 weeks ago. I went out in a fk you Gen X blaze of glory...
🤣🤣 that's great
Already did. I also cancelled Meta Amazon and Google. I encourage others to do the same. Stop tolerating evil! Stop endorsing it with your dollars, information, and content. Make it worthless.
Quit Apple too!!!
Did they give a fortune to Trump?
The killer enemy of social media is apathy, being ignored. It has no defence against irrelevance
And stop buying Tesla vehicles too.
The plan is mass exodus on the 20th.
Waiting until tomorrow for the symbolic reference.
Someone still has to go on there, and spread the word... I don't have an account there since last year.
Amazon too.
Shaming the Advertisers on X will fasten it’s worth
Malcolm Nance is pushing for a mass exodus on Inauguration Day. Until then, I’m Elon’s sandpaper dildo of truth.
Already did.
there is also no better time to organize against disinformation agencies that have migrated from twitter to bluesky theins.ru/en/news/277378
Thousands, if not millions, have beaten you to the punch. We left the day Musk bought it.
I got myself banned to make sure there were absolutely no loose ends.
I left a couple of days ago. Feels great. I might create a few sock puppet accounts to troll Reform.
I really don't understand why people still support Musk by using his propaganda channel.
January 20th, 2025 is shutdown date for me.
I was late enough to Twitter that I kept waiting for the value smart people had attributed to it. I never really saw it and was disgusted by the casual use of misinformation and immaturity, so I'm grateful this place and hope we can create something useful. 🙏
And #Tesla
I spent two hours figuring out how to get onto my old Twitter account just so I could officially close it.
Good job!👍👍👍🇺🇲
I deleted my account on Nov 6. The hellscape is burning.
Canceled months ago. It’s been useless for years.
Left over a month ago. Efff that dude. I hope all his shit burns to the ground.
Abandoned the place just after the election. Grateful for this landing spot!
Also, if you can't leave twitter, you are going to really struggle when there are really consequences that require real actions. Twitter user from March 2007, deactivated account and left at 4:30am the day after the election.
Must try harder, still 335M to our 25M.
I left Xitter the day Musk took over. I don’t think he misses me. But he lied when he said he supported free speech. He only supported his own free speech and paid big bucks (or in his case, chump change) to propagandize the millions of people still paying for blue checks or whatever.
Ty🙏🏾
I gave him exactly one chance; he banned journalists for being critical of him, so i deleted my account.
Ty🙏🏾
Done a while ago
No need to stay informed, a least it good for a laugh and a headshake
I gave Elon the big 🖕 and was banned. I’ve been a happier person ever since. 🥂To moving forward
🥂
Thank you.
#20JanuaryTwexit
100% way more blue GDP than red GDP. Dump X!
I did 25 months ago, when Mr. Thin skin banned me.
Done, and done with it. #AbandonX #AbandonTwitter
I did in November and mental health has improved
Me too, I’m so much happier. I block every maga that shows up on BlueSky
I block the nasty maga cult, but I think if others are willing to discuss their views like adults, I think we can learn why they vote the way they do.
I hear you, but have you found any actual Tr**p voters - this election - who aren’t in the cult?
Exactly. I’m in uk and first time trump got in I thought well they’ve been conned I kind of get it but by the second time I just thought this is how hitler got voted in. Same people who like a shouting bully controlling their lives and loads of empty promises.
Yes, there are a lot that wouldn't vote for Harris.
The choice was between a racist, misogynistic felon and Harris. And they still voted for the felon? Thats a cult, or folks who won’t vote for a woman/minority, or a bunch of people who care more about purity tests than anything else. There were only 2 choices here.
Yep.
It’s infuriating 😡.
It is. Many disagree with me, but I don't believe belittling them and being disrespectful is the answer. I think we're going to have enormous opportunities when the Trump administration screws people over. And they will. We should be prepared to help them, not mock them. THATS going to be hard.
Very, very hard. Got a biracial family with an LGBTQ+ kiddo in Texas, and I’m tired of trying to convince people who seem to vehemently dislike my family makeup. I get it logically, and have been very politically active, but only so much nasty you can listen to - especially about your own kids.
Cut the cord permanently yesterday.
Deleted it from my phone a month ago. Haven't looked back 👍
I left the minute the sale to Musk went through.
Never went on it, saw a lot of quotes from it. I like it here. Maybe I'm just in the blue solo, but I like what I'm seeing here. The Nazis and their pals can have it. I'm sure I'll still be hearing about lots of crap posted there
Done! Fuck #ElmoFudd🗑️
Anyone still on Twitter right now is complicit! I don’t care how many followers you have! Be a Liz Cheney and do what is right!
I’m quitting Twitter at exactly 12 Noon EST on Jan 20 - I heard that was a good time to mass exit!
I am on X to call out the lies. Different identity from here. I have never cared about having followers on there.
Yes I get that but these people are in a cult and they get fuelled by arguing with logical people! It would be like only watching Fox News to laugh at what they say because it is so ridiculous.. it is a number and traffic for them which gives them ad revenue! Thank god I never bought a tesla!!
I understand that, but to what end? The system is set up to work against you. At some point you have to consider if any benefit you provide is outweighed by adding to the platforms engagement.
I agree. At this point it’s the consequences of their actions what might make them wake up. Disengaging from Twitter might bring that about faster.
"I am on X to call out the lies. Different identity from here. I have never cared about having followers on there." Congratulations on your participation in Elon's "town square" 🙄
Me too. But I get suspended a lot! 😂 Last time for posting this on Republican Senator timelines Trump Trademarks www.businessinsider.com/trump-disclo...
Done 👍
Honestly all you're doing is trading one evil for the lesser. Time reveals all.
Done!
It’s ready worthless and useless .
I'm getting there 😩
Did my part today! 😀
Many of us did that the day that Leon bought the joint. Not sure what took everybody else so long.
NGL this app hasn’t been great so far either, but I do like it better than X especially because I want no part of Elon’s bs
Here no one is pushing thoughts down our throats by rising 1000s of them to the top artificially. Here a block is a block. Here you can develop your own feed. My timeline is fine now that I took the time.
Yeah, but I haven’t come across a lot of people that actually want to talk. They mostly are just self absorbed and want likes and attention as if they’re all influencers 😂
Yah that's a side effect of Social Media in general. In a way it's identical to real life then lol. Always someone wants to be more seen than they are. Always someone fishing. I'm here to talk. It's what it's for so that's why I'm here. :)
Well same I just think the way a lot of people operate these days is stranger than ever. It just seems pointless and creates like a depressing void of meaningless bs
And you know, I don’t want to be negative but I do find it genuinely depressing.
Yah I get it. But before you abandon the idea of sticking around.. I found a few things here that helped. Most important was muting words. I muted crypt0, bitc0in, tromp - I had to spell the all wrong so I can see my own reply :) So that alone has cleared out a LOT of clutter.
Then I blocked a ton of "big" accounts just cause. :) And I set up my own feeds.. so I can just see about the puppies and kitties or Author Talk etc. It takes a bit of learning but you can bend this thing to suit your interests. Lastly, you do eventually find likeable people. Like me :)
Dont worry about that its already worth a lot less than what musk bought it for 🤣
How did he get to be the richest man ever? Baffling for one who seems to constantly be pressing the FUCK IT button in his life.
Its the question were all asking but im sure google ai will come up with something 🙄
Absolutely. I dumped it 3/4 years ago but no reason why you guys can't all do it now, before the 20th
Done. Like a year ago.
Left weeks ago. It was becoming beyond mean and nasty. This platform is a healthier place to be…❤️
What’s twitter, even?
And remove Meta.
Ditched Facebook and cable years ago. Then Twitter. Now Amazon. Support local, small businesses. Stop buying shite from these fascist assholes.
Amazon was helpful during pandemic. I buy certain items because not easy to get locally or can ship to anyone in the country free with Prime.
Not anymore. If you have Prime, most items take 5 to 7 days without paying for shipments. Good movies on Prime you must rent or buy. I've been looking for a replacement for Alexa streaming music and voice control for my smart devices. Any recommendations.
Nope. I ditched Alexa years ago when I realized they were eavesdropping on my life. You’ll find it’s convenient but not worth the price of your privacy.
Recent WaPo departures, news of inaugural donations, Prime production of Melania bio, pending $600,000 wedding with his cyber bride, it’s enough. I will need to work a little harder and pay a little more, but I’ll know I’m not subsidizing his wealth at the expense of my soul.
With Amazon - McKenzie Scott (Bezos) still has a ton of Amazon stock and is doing a lot of good with that money. One good thing, at least, make a dent in all the nasty.
😂😂😂😂
Personally waiting till the 20th of January, 2025. Imagine if a million or so Users in the US terminate on that date.
Notoriously, in June 2010 Lennon’s close friend and ally Richard Price was convicted of making four indecent images of children, and possessing cocaine and crack cocaine.[i] The vile images were found on his computer by police after he was arrested for disturbances at an EDL demonstration.
🥱
I left right after the “election” FOR GOOD.
Done
It was hard to do, but easy once I did it. There is an app that will import your twitter followers to BSky if they are here. It gets you going so you are not staring from scratch.
Been there. Done that. Weeks ago.
I troll Elonia. Plus, if you shut down your account, Elmo will turn it into a bot account.
Boycott xtwitter BOYCOTT with extreme prejudice
All Of them. Facebook and Instagram too.
Yes needs to go away.
I loved Twitter. But I couldn't do it anymore so I left too! I'm happy to see a familiar account!
I kinda thought it already was .I want to make Elon and Donnie.Worthless and pennyless.
They should just rename it to "ET" (Elon & Trump) as those will be the only two users left there. (one can wish, right) 😊🥰
Done. Today.
Can't do it Jess. How else will I find out that wind turbines cause cancer or which immigrants are eating my pets? In addition, my close personal friend, Elon, needs the money.
Too late. I jumped ship when Melon Husk took over. I abandoned FB recently, when Zuckerberg bribed Trump for the inauguration.
Did it weeks ago.
And now meta!! Fuck zuck and muck
I’m long gone! Elon can have his worthless right wing playground!
I think decent countries should consider banning it
Um…”make it useless?” Hasn’t it always been that?
I quit the day that turd bought it.
Ditto
Put pressure on advertisers whose money finance the hate on x.
I did it 4 years ago. Kind of saw it coming.
"Make it useless. Worthless..." Kinda like its owner?
It is already useless, except as a gate farm. And, I was up to making worthless. Do I left.
Wow! That is one bad post. It should say: It was already useless, except for a hate farm. So, I left!
I legit LOL'ed at the butcher job and the "Wow!" 😆
Be patient, I can and will do worse.
😂😂
X is the cyber truck of social media ..
It IS useless and worthless!
STFU 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Been gone for a few months, love the fresh air of BlueSky.
Elon will achieve that by himself.
Left a week ago. Feels great
I left Twitter shortly after Musk took over. I had 39,000 followers.
I left the day he bought it. I don't think that I was a follower of yours on Twitter, but I just became one here.
Why don’t you have bio?
Principles on point.
Here’s another on 🦋
You got my follow here. 💙
And I'm prepared to bet that you now gain more engagement on here than you did in the latter days on there.
It is useless !
So happy to have deactivated my account
Already done
Done in November 👍😁
I’ll never understand why journalists are still using Twitter. The site is 8chan, and the owner throttles their content.
I can see going on nazi twitter to provide material for a story, but to actively post on there is just helping a nazi earn revenue.
That's the bad part. The worst people are boosted. Under any post, the first 20 comments are the most barbaric, vile, bigoted, braindead comments a person could stomach.
People are still on twitter?
plenty. it has so much content and community which this platform lacks.
They dont know bsky.
I have, earlier today, deactivated my Twitter account. And it feels gooood……
Left Twitter when Musk showed up
It is a cesspool of misinformation and rants from Musk. It gets my heart rate going for sure! I hope this platform only grows and we find our old friends here!
Musk doesn't care. His wealth doubled when dump was reelected. His purchase of twitter served the purpose for which it was intended. Everone who invested into the purchase of twitter KNEW it was meant for the downfall of the USA & it worked. Leaving now is not the gotcha everyone thinks it is
Agree. But I did it anyway because even small acts of reason are a start. I think it's less about leaving twitter (which I did) but moving to and empowering Bluesky.
All my people have moved to Blue Sky!
Every departure from X is a dig at Musk. Even that ego can be pierced by a good demonstration of his irrelevancy.
Like when he told Disney to go fuck there self, then he filed a lawsuit against them🤣.He’s a idiot
Like that, exactly.
I'm waiting until Jan 20th to deactivate my account. Until then I keep wandering over there to check in and I'm always like
That’s part of the National Inauguration Blackout plan laid out by Malcolm Nance on Substack: Delete your X account on 1/20 and don’t watch or read news from 8 a.m. EST 1/20 - 8 a.m. EST 1/26.
Not sure if true but heard Chicago’s CTA (transit authority) is no longer posting transit alerts on X Twitter. If true, I certainly don’t mind the exit
a lot of public services and corporations have abandoned twitter.
Done!
I'm going on January 20. Unfortunately, losing some friends and followers.
It's been useless and worhtless since the goofy billionaire with titties bought it.
It's already useless and worthless. The task is to make it userless.
For those in the cheap seats, she said WORTHLESS.
MSM as well!
I never have regretted leaving .
The only reason I'm still on Xitter is for real-time nationwide weather and traffic updates.
Jan 20th is my exit date from as Dale Gribble would say, “That Porthole to Hell.” Evening of Jan 18 will be my last regular Xitter post. Evening of the 19th is my parting shot tweet to Elonia and the morning of the 20th is account termination time.
I was worried about some withdrawal. Left a few days after the election. No regrets. Haven't missed it for a second
It's there collecting dust, the amount of spam in non English content made the app unusable...not to mention all the politics
I deactivated my account on November 6th.
As soon as Elon implements the new algorithm that penalizes people for negative posts I think you are going to see another mass exodus. Before the election he pushed negative posts. Now he wants to censor anyone who speaks negatively about him or Trump.
So Much for freedom of speech 🤣
There never was freedom of speech under Musk just massive shadow banning and algorithms that got more and more restrictive.
You’re absolutely right
Despite the ethical challenge of it, I stay there to keep track of and support those who have serious illness or other vulnerability that makes it too hard for them to shift here or other platforms.
My part is done
I wish I could again but I did months ago..
The lower their engagement, the lower their ad revenue. Leave Twitter and ruin President Musk. Everybody should be doing it.
make it Myspace
The abuse I get from maga supporters if you dare question there leader , or here in the U.K if you dare not support reform or the EDL we’re all called woke Marxists
If you want to be made to read musks tweets every second and everyone calling any one liberal a pervert X is for you , iv had enough
X is has turned into a nightmare I mean sites for wildlife have had to leave, I preferred Twitter b4 Musk bought it
I jumped ship years ago before it ever became X. I recognized its toxicity rather quickly and deactivated my account within a couple of months. I knew back then it was a hellhole.
All social media is. This place will end up the same way
I’ll have to agree with you on that. The trolls are already infiltrating BlueSky from what I’ve been seeing.
Some accounts I looked at regularly - a couple local weather forecasters, national security expert Juliette Kayyem - made accounts here, but only post sporadically, while regularly posting on X. I don’t get it - especially with Kayyem - she should read her replies - it’s a total cesspool.
The best time was when Musk took over. The second best time is now.
I did that six weeks ago. Why haven't you?
I did it six months ago. Best decision ever.
👏🏼👏🏼
No worries, Elon is doing an excellent job here. Making it completely useless. Apparently we now have… drum roll… X Score assigned to every user. His or her tweets will be completely hidden under mountains of spam if Elon’s algorithm doesn’t approve of that user views
Today is offitial wuiting Tweeter X Day. Don't forget if anybody still on X today is the day.
Already done, and lot of nice people quit when Musk bought it. Do you want to follow me ?
It already is.
Seems like its already the former, and rapidly approaching the latter...
Does anyone know where it’s plugged in ? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to just unplug it !
Except perhaps the 20th.
We need it to know what those loonies are thinking about. Know thy enemy.
The UK needs to ban it for promoting terrorism.
Twitter ist ein reines Spionage Organ der CIA und dient der politischen Verfolgung aller Trump Gegner
Doing our bestest Jess. Everyone here is. I still peek 🫣 at the other place to keep track of the enemy. No posting - Rarely did even before President Elmo turned it into a hellscape for Nazis, conspiracy theorists & mis/disinformation.
Yup ur right. As soon as I found jack dorsey made this app I was like bye X.
