If anyone is still on Twitter you're putting yourself at risk, especially if you're loud and a Dem. Musk has access to your IPs. He can have his hackers come after you, get your info and dox you. At a minimum, if you're stubborn, get a VPN. I recommended Proton VPN. Good luck.
Yes and encourage (call) Congresspeople to delete their X and migrate to a non-Nazi platform. List of those still on X despite our cries to leave is here: https://ucsd.libguides.com/congress_twitter
Can't. I was never on Twitter. I did however ditch Amazon, all things Meta, and dumping Google is a process one I am deep into. I also avoid ai. Am a homesteader food independent so little shopping none at Whole Foods. What more can I do? I don't drive, so no Teslas either. What more?
Same here. I stayed on mostly to find out if old rock stars died. Then the bull crap took over. My mental health has improved ever since I deleted my account
If we all leave Twitter, there will be no one to correct the constant barrage of lies. The ignorance there is breathtaking but shouldn't we try to to at least offer the facts? Most won't believe us but maybe some will. That's what keeps me there...for now.
I thought this in the beginning, then realized the chances of anything positive arising from my being there was pretty remote, and the clincher, do I want to support in any way shape or form a monster
this is a solid point - except in the post-truth hellscape - - it doesn't actually matter if you point out a lie, or even prove it's a lie - because no one on twitter gives a shit!

I get no interaction here. That is the truth. I love this place compared to the other, but shouting into the void only amuses for so long... 🤷♂️
I am currently in Twitmo for the next 6+ days...
In all seriousness: what I did was start searching my interests and groups I followed elsewhere on here. You can also customise your feed. It takes time, but not a lot of time, maybe a few weeks.
I have been saying this for awhile and I think some of my favorite accounts are upset with me. I even had an account that DM'd me asking if I meant them specifically. It's hypocritical to trash him here and then stay on his platform. There is no reason whatsoever anyone should still be there.
It's weird to me how some accounts are promoting boycotts of companies for their DEI policies but are still using a platform owned by a real-life Nazi.
I'm staying for now. Was there before leon and will be after someone else buys it. So many awesome photographers and thinkers. If you don't engage in politics it falls off your feed.
Yes I left it about 3 months ago, I was going to leave live to counteract the hard of thinking, but I have realized they will always be hard of thinking, and they can't question what they think they know. Have blocked a few with proud Zionist on their bio, I don't want to hear what they have to say
Not just that. But people everywhere should be getting your local politicians, organizations and government entities to stop making it their official go to site. We need Twitter to no longer be the "official" mouthpiece for so many reporters and orgs. All orgs off Twitter now!
Agree. At this point, most people of conscience should be leaving it simply to drain it of its power and reach. Journalists and public figures should be leading the way on that instead of hanging on to their accounts for fear of (temporarily) losing some followers.
I have for the most part. It's all propaganda. I checked out Substack yesterday too! I love Bluesky but miss some of my lefties from the bird space. FIND ME LOL!
I don’t understand why anyone would use twitter at this point. If you have influence because of whatever reason interested individuals will go to whatever platform you post on
Respectfully disagree. It’s imperative to continue to monitor what’s being said by the influencers on the right and how they are spinning the narrative. We can’t combat misinformation if we don’t know what’s being said.
Yeah, you are not even being seen. The algorithms have already deleted your pushback troll. (I know I tracked this when I was still there). Better to pickup the phone and leave a message on their congressional voicemail.
💯
I get so angry at folks that complain about everything owned by the #bloatedbillionaires while still continuing to use their products. It's "us" that made them rich and now powerful. You'd think "we'd" learn.
For those afraid of missing something important if you leave Xitter—there’s nothing about that steaming pile of bullshit you can’t find at any landfill or overflowing toilet. Leave. It’ll be OK.
It is a Nazi platform
Full of maggots and Nazis why would anybody want to stay on there. It is the same as true social except it’s Elon’s instead of Trump’s. 🙄
This slimy asshat is committing crime, yet again!
He knows these judges are our last line of defense, so he's using his power and money to rig another election. Please mobilize and spread awareness!
Wisconsin, let's vote and support Judge Crawford! @crawfordforwi.bsky.social
Add Facebook as well. That place is also a new breeding ground disinformation, nazi memes, and AI users. So even if you have an engagement crowded, a good chunk can be soulless scripted yes men.
I have to agree. I still have Twitter on one of my devices. A tablet I pick up roughly once per day. Notifications are turned on, so I check them out. Inevitably, when I do, I'm drawn into a back and forth with some craven maga loon.
I've been saying this since Musk bought it. Stop enabling this psychopath. It's nothing but a toxic cesspool of sociopaths now. Hunger games for morons and bots.
It’s where the fight is….missionaries don’t stay in their own environments…they preach to the those who don’t believe…and even if they only convert 1 person they celebrate that 1 soul…..
I would be losing my mind if I still had to see what MTG, et all were posting on a daily basis. Even if you don’t follow them somebody you do follow will dunk on them and then you see it. Blue Sky is so much better for my mental health.
I had two accounts on
TwiX, one political and one for animals, etc. I tried to delete them for several months. I kept getting messages that deletion wasn’t available and to try again later. WTAF? Finally, was successful last week. It was a pleasant feeling. I had been there since it started.
1. Increase X valuation for potential future investors
2. Generate ad views that put $ in X bank account
3. Paid blue and yellow badges fund Nazis
4. Generate network effects that keep others there
5. Add credibility to X as a platform
The ads X has that I’ve seen recently are literally some random temu style ai or male enhancement pills. Like OH! Trouble with- 👀
what a meme
Plus too, seeing what they are up to, is actually making me lose brain cells ngl. But I sometimes scroll to see if anything has sustenance or truth. Rare
Also the way they spin their wheels to find something anything wrong to push an agenda or narrative is comical because I’ll be like, “they may be on to something here…oh wait… never mind” just gonna get my colorful wig and clown makeup now
Deleted my account the day he purchased.
Also immediately deleted TikTok as soon as they went dark and deleted messenger that very same day and remain logged out of Facebook only to log in to cause a little good trouble from time to time.
I sorta feel like I need a medal for all of that…☺️😂😬🥇
Can’t completely delete Facebook because of the group features and some things I’m involved in unfortunately, but I only log in to check on those and go cause issues for MAGAts periodically on public news posts. 😬
I have tried since Jan 20. It does not recognize my request “Oops, something went wrong. Try again later”. Changed my password. Log out, log back in. Tried after a week to deactivate. Get same exact message. I believe that they have done this to keep up their number of active accounts. Sigh.
I've noticed that many big name accts post more on Twitter and have more rage baiting to drive up views, likes, & reports and I firmly believe it's to generate income. They can't leave Twitter, it pays the bills.
So delete it. As in go in to your acct & fully delete it & then delete the app off your phone. Why give him access to your info, & allow him to make $$$ off your info..
I’m still on Twitter just to hang with fellow Democrats or still fighting the fight, but I like to be on here more so because I’m feeling blue sky the most
There are Canadians on there that we need to wake up so they can vote for Carney. Canadians can leave twitter after our federal election. That being said, I’ve never had a twitter account.
This is the best app to be, I left Facebook and Twitter got shadow banned for standing with Biden ❤️🩹 and have never regretted it…. Truth social is for mainly MAGA and they are all trolls..
They make it hard.
Today I posted "Death to Musk and his Musk-keteers" and I haven't gotten bounced yet.
They muzzled me for far less a few months ago.
Why are people still there? It’s like knowing you’re getting bad info but you enjoy the crazy & lies. Could everyone on Xitter put the drama on the back burner & deal with some reality?
Why are people still on Facebook and Instagram? I was never big on either platform so it was easy to delete. But Zuck has shown a very dark side and showing off for your friends is hardly worth it.
I’m not on those either. Left Facebook when I found out they collude with Trump to spread bad info. In 2020. The man is a liar & felon. It’s like giving oxygen to a forest fire.
What does having a small account have to do with being on Twitter?Twitter is now nothing but Nazis &, trolls, owned by a Nazi billionaire.As long as you're on his site, he has your information. Get off Twitter.
I don't have the number of interactions I had before Musk, but it's vastly better than here in that regard. Here I don't even get one on most posts, but the same post on Twitter gets a lot. I prefer it here but feel defeated after months. I reply, strike up convos, etc but it isn't reciprocated

Since most people have already abandoned twitter, there is little reason to login to twitter.
I can't get my daughter to leave, though. She says her anime community is still there.
I officially deleted my account yesterday!
Wahoo!
Bye Bye EloNazi.

I was on Facebook for a while - deleted my account there years ago.
Wound up getting WhatsApp for a bit...then someone mentioned Meta's anti-LGBTQ policies. Deleted WhatsApp.
Best decisions I ever made.
It's unhealthy.
But all you scammers and porn girls can hop on X! Elon loves you all!
Stop thinking you’re being a hero arguing with the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.

None of this is acceptable

I left a week after the election and never looked back. It's time for a mass exodus and shut it down
Also immediately deleted TikTok as soon as they went dark and deleted messenger that very same day and remain logged out of Facebook only to log in to cause a little good trouble from time to time.

You can use that! Or block me...
This is my only public platform.
My brain says thanks

And they like watching a fight but won’t stand up for anything themselves.
Except maybe their right to vices of all sorts. But not for other people.

Fight against fascism: get off Twitter.
Or even better, for the love of no gods!
Today I posted "Death to Musk and his Musk-keteers" and I haven't gotten bounced yet.

I can tweet the same thing and get lots of interaction, but here, nothing. It's like talking to myself all day and is depressing.
@piperformissouri.bsky.social
Ditch Google as much as possible.
Find alternatives to their browsers and products.
Losing creature comforts is nowhere near as bad as living under full on fascism!

Oh yeah seems appropriate 😀
Thanks for the follow!
The peace of mind here is worth it.
Get off of Twitter permanently.
your comments aren't doing jack
For the hate of Nazis, or just Elon, get off Twitter!
One might say I was ahead of the curve...😅
Especially for those of us who have friends and are supporting charities in Ukraine.
