This is just the start. Next will be stalling ad revenue by blocking trackers and generating insane traffic with blocker and refresh plugins by a lot of people when the battalions cooperate
Time to bring Elmo to his knees in front of the shareholders
We need to see some big hitter advertisers come over here and then we’ll see. x home of the teemu pig shirts or Bluesky advertising fancy goods and services 🤣
Twitter will collapse due to law of diminishing returns: People pay to have engagement boosted, non payers engagement suppressed; as more pay $£€ to be boosted, each post actually sees less engagement at individual level, especially as oligarchs exploit control to boost; Nonpayers leave; ad rev fall
At least the UK government blocked fascists irl with prison. Elon is just bitching because the social media laws kick in soon, and if the UK gov has a spine, there will be very large fines.
My immediate fear is the speed to clamp down on these disinformation machines in time for the German elections early next year. Their swing to the right recently and russian interference makes it a softer target than it should be.
Not only did the get what he wanted, but I also believe he bought it to launder money. I just don’t believe he didn’t know he ruined it a while ago and him using it to help tRump win and now being apart of his cabinet was the final straw
I've been watching for the past couple days. Most of the people I follow are leaving, and the replies are FILLED with MAGA screaming at them, saying that we all need to learn to live together, grow up, etc. Like girl, no? Why would I want hate filled people in my life?
Twitter is not salvageable with Musk at the helm. He has turned it into a mass disinformation network dominated by bots, trolls, and the worst people imaginable.
The great Twitter exodus was the logical conclusion.
Musk doesn’t care how people use his platform. He only bought it to help Trump get elected and spit hate. I hope it implodes in his face, which let’s face it, it is!!
I stopped using Twitter after Elon took over and there was such a gaping hole in my life as a result. I really, really missed the sharing of opinions and ideas there, but I just couldn’t, with Musk.
I was ecstatic when I heard about BlueSky and I’ve been glued to it ever since.
I deactivated my account last night and deleted the app. I swear the energy around me feels better already. X evil must have been emitting from my phone. I don't even have the urge to cuss online today. 😂
A Su Excelencia, mi Noble y Estimado Adversario, la Paz de Nuestro Señor sea con Vos: Con toda humildad y reverencia os dirijo estas palabras, esperando que la gracia divina os guíe en vuestros altos pensamientos y que esta carta llegue a vuestras manos en buena salud.
A tal ilustre destinatario, me atrevo a expresar mi anhelo de que, por la voluntad de Dios y el imperio de la razón, “cien flores florezcan y cien escuelas de pensamiento compitan.” Así, que se ensanchen los límites del entendimiento humano, que nuestras diferencias sean un fértil suelo...
...donde crezcan las virtudes y se multipliquen los saberes. Ruego que os plazca recibir estas palabras de buen grado, y que, aunque adversarios, podamos en estos altos propósitos hallar mutua dignidad.
Que el Altísimo os conceda abundante sabiduría y prudencia en todas vuestras empresas, y quede Yo, de Vuestra Excelencia, como siempre, Vuestro humilde servidor y adversario en noble contienda.
Atentamente,
Don Esteban Tomás, Hidalgo y Conquistador
It’s just a lot of boosted posts from the right. Seeing elons face every time I refresh my feed, it’s tiring just being surrounded by it all the time. I like getting info from both sides but it’s clear they’re only pushing a certain narrative
I've deleted three too - I do still have one left to go though.
In theory it is the innocuous,sugar-sweet, everything-is-nice and rainbows account but even that is starting to attract the vilebots now. Only a matter of time until I'm fully committed on here.
banned from twitter for a week for threatening violence (a slap to my tv set) - which helpfully encouraged me to join here, but if there's mayhem over there I'm sorry to be missing it
The foreign accounts have definitely been ramped up in the last few days. Say anything negative about Trump/Twitter/Elonia and they find you like that. It's pretty funny seeing the place up in flames. Destroying itself. 😂😂😂😂
So many ads for crypto schemes, so many bots, so many wackos. I still see posts from accounts I follow, but there's a lot of muck to wade through. Elon has managed to ruin it in an impressively short time, and the damage is accelerating like a flaming Cybertruck going off a cliff.
Fun fact: 666 in the Bible is thought to actually be gematriac code for Nero's Greek title (Neron Késar) when transcribed with Hebrew/Aramaic characters
I bow to you, as you are the only person I've seen who has made that connection...the not so true yet oh so accurate old saying of Nero fiddled while Rome burned most definitely fits.
*waving at you from Tennessee, a state swimming in deadly red*
Time will tell. For now,keeping my head low if you know what I mean,going grocery shopping &will start getting extra just in case,long list of things to do to try&get my family through this. Things will get rough,I hope not terminally so,these maga are monsters. Be safe yourself,they are everywhere!
Just a few hours ago I had a bunch of bros pile on me over on facebook, insisting that twitter is better than ever, and super profitable for Elon the genius! 😆

Don’t worry about your X followers. They’re leaving too.
Here's my new Dead Bird banner, before deleting the account.
Then close the account and hope Elons investment in X/Twitter will burn up soon.
Many years of tweets I imagine?
I am trying to regain my account - and delete it.
But X “service” even send me an e-mail I should respond to - that is not working 🙄
Everyone is here now, thank fuck.
I knew it would get extremely toxic.☣️
The great Twitter exodus was the logical conclusion.
BlueSky
Goodbye
Leaving X
We know where we're going
We know where we're from
We're leaving Babylon, y'all!
I was having intl angst leaving Ukr posters like yourself behind on that dark-x-est place.
Felt like soc media replicating reality!
Still sending light as can.
And literally nobody explaining.
Very irritating thread.
I was ecstatic when I heard about BlueSky and I’ve been glued to it ever since.
BlueSky creates an environment that is not hostile or liability prone.
800m > 15m
Especially among racists, bigots and misogynists who couldn’t deserve it more! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bet on it.

Staying where the sky is blue
I refused to buy a check, i swore a lot, i trolled Elon and blocked his ads and allies.
Unless you play his game, you might as well not have an account.
Free speech? Only for his paying guests.
(Of course I know you're actually talking about the male historical figure but still.)
